So... In other jails in the US, probably for profit, it costs money to stay and they don't give the option for a better room

This is a Cali thing, as far as I know. It's meant to reduce overcrowding.

This would not fly in some other areas of the US, like the south.

I'm not willing to Google search this but, is this a cheap Marriott? Or a more expensive county jail

Well the room looks pretty crappy, but versus a dormitory with 8 bunks in a room, this is a Marriot.

A possible dystopian future will have the actual Marriott brand running these pay-for-premium jail cells. Future advertisements will boast about using credit card reward points to book fancier accommodations while awaiting trial for white collar crimes.
