California isn’t the only location where this is being done. The problem for me is that why should the wealthy have the option to have this benefit, yet if you’re poor you go to the nasty other jails with inmates that you might not want to know or live with while you serve your time. Is this fare? Shouldn’t “all” criminals be treated the “same” ? Everyone in prison should be treated humanely.
That's been the case for a while already. Be working class and steal $10,000 = "hard" time. Affluent and steal $10,000,000 = relax at "Club Fed". Kind of like poor people who steal something are thieves who need jail, and rich people who steal are "kleptomaniacs" who need treatment.

Or, very deliberately ignore safety standards in your mine, resulting in an explosion that kills 29 workers? One year in prison.
As long as you're a businessperson who is only incidentally killing people as part of an intent to make gobs and gobs of money, you get a slap on the wrist. But swipe three six-packs on three different occasions and it's "Three strikes and you're out!" and it's life in prison. Of course, that's because those six-packs belong to an entrepreneur trying to make money, and the criminal justice system cares infinitely more about safeguarding the profits of entrepreneurs than it does about safeguarding the lives of workers.

Yes, or you can drunkenly kill a bunch of people and blame "affluenza".

Everyone in prison is treated humanely. The lawyers and the ACLU make sure of that. The more upscale inmates pay for different accommodation with their own money, which will lessen the tax burden for tax payers. The money they spend stimulates local economy. This is really a win-win for everyone.
How about charging the wealthy criminals and the money would go directly towards upgrading the standards for all inmates in jail instead of just those few special ones?

How about not worrying about what happens to wealthy criminals?
We should all be treated the same. I think fair and right is somewhere in the middle of the actual extremes
