I can't imagine a prison being nice, no matter how lavish the amenities.<p>Unrelated: The absolute and total no-holds-barred lack of due process is why I have always been reluctant to go on a cruise. You are basically subject to a mini floating dictatorship the whole time you are aboard. I wonder if this is a press hit designed to distract from that, now that it's been in the news. Cruises are a huge industry.
