Oh no, that depends on the bus. Long trips, the guards want comfort. Those buses usually have AC, maybe not pointed at the prisoners but at least the bus is cool in general. Short trips though, where the guards are up front and prisoners in the back and separate? Total crap shoot. I know this from some personal experience in the NYS system.

Having been in chains on a couple of these buses during my life, I can say this much from personal experience.

In NY, you get food when your prison bus ride is more then a few hours long. We would get a paper bag with two 'sandwiches', a couple greasy cookies/biscuts ( I couldn't tell for sure), and two little cups of juice. The 'sandwiches' where two slices of bread, some mystery deli meat, and some cheese. I do not recommend trying the recipe with the ingredients they use.

Didn't matter how far you where going, that was one bag per trip per person. The trips going long distance where on converted or custom built tour buses. The seats are like what you'll find in any city bus, hard with a layer of fabric over it for the barest bit of cusion. These prison buses usually had a bathroom, but you where told it was for peeing only.

There is anouther factor as well. For the vast majority of non-guard riders, you are chained to another person not of your choosing, for the duration of the ride. Even if one of you needs to use the small single occupant bathroom. I was, in a sense, lucky. I am a large person, and the handcuff-style leg chains would not fit on me, no matter how they tried my legs where just too large and thick and only bone or muscle, so not squishy like I saw some guys who had mostly thick fat on their legs. So instead, I got what the guards jokingly called the "elephant chains", just a single chain passed around my ankles and padlocked shut so I couldn't get out. But, it meant I didn't have a 'partner'. I could have used the bathroom by myself (although I didn't, since in handcuffs I didn't think anyone would aim very well) and I had a seat all to myself, since everyone else was already forced to buddy up.

There was no entertainment, but while the windows are very heavily tinted, you can see out of them from the inside, so at least it's possible to watch what's going by. That is either a blessing or a curse, depending on the person.

And yes, we where told no talking.

Those look like rams to me

Thomas the Tank engine with George Carlin standup voiceover remix. Funniest shit I've heard in a long time.

Agrarian society built after the major extinction event and with no need or desire for capitalism? Yes please.

The San Francisco medical examiner's office determined his death to be suicide and police found no evidence of foul play.

Does anyone else find it statistically significant how often whistle blowers commit suicide within a few days of releasing information or making a statement?

Oh sweet, man-made horror beyond my compression

This is plainly insane.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has decreed to me that VPN use is totally cool and his worshipers should feel ok using them. 🍝

This hits like a cyberpunk dystopia

Any kind of surge pricing ~~by for profit companies providing basic needs~~ should be illegal full stop

Fixed that for you
