Prisoners Sue?

I read where inmates are suing a county because of jail conditions.  I'm all for 8th Amendment rights.  We absolutely should not use excessive punishment.  However, the punishment should fit the crime and I think many times criminals are just receiving a "slap on the wrist."  No wonder they continue in their life of crime.  I do think inspections need to be periodically made to ensure our jails are safe and secure.  However, they're not the Hilton.  Jails should be so miserable that no one would ever want to go back.  As for inmates who think jail is not plush enough and want to sue, stop breaking the law and you want have to go.
