I was thinking the same thing.
The way a prison looks doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how it operates, but a good clean environment is over all beneficial. Not only for the prisoners but the guards who work there.
You think the guards like to spend their day in some smelly, grungy place, with rusty bars and dirty concrete walls, in addition to the people roaming around who will slice your neck open as soon as look at you?
I think not.
But on the other hand, just because it looks nice doesn't mean it's a five star hotel, either.
