Just ask the inmates; they will tell you.<br> They are overworked and underfed.<br> Their walls are bare and bunks are hard.<br><br>No prison is so populated, no prison so oppressive, and, what's more, no prison is so permanent. <br> Most inmates never leave. They never escape. They never get released.<br> They serve a life sentence in this overcrowded, underprovisioned facility.<br><br>The name of the prison? You'll see it over the entrance. Rainbowed over the gate are four cast-iron letters that spell out its name:<br> <strong><span style='color:navy'> </span></strong><strong><span style='font-size:15.0pt;color:navy'> W - A - N - T</span></strong><br><br>The prison of want.
