First sentence: Everybody, it seems, has his or her favorite remedy for the acknowledged problems of prison management: small prisons are better than large ones, or prisons that spend a lot of money are better than those that spend little, or prisons in which inmates have much (or little) freedom to move about are better (or worse) than those with the opposite characteristics.
