literal prisoners are not "literal people" they have no literal freedom or autonomy, they have literally no rights.

Giving them food, electricity, and clean water (which isn't even a guarantee, the prison industrial complex is a disaster, do some research on that one) is quite literally the minimum you can do to not violate human rights.
