Now a Federal prison might be better with respect to the quality of the facility due to better funding, better personnel, etc.

Having served as a Halfway House Counselor for several years, I had the opportunity to absorb first hand knowledge of prison conditions on both State and Federal level. The difference is night and day, from food to visits, and overall conditions, including Parole before it was abolished.
Nine out of every ten inmates who have served time on both sides of the isle will tell you that while neither experience is plesant, the Federal system has advantages over the State. Murderers, Kidnappers, Child Molesters, Rapist, are not as much part of the Federal system. These crimes are the most hedious in the public eye, and they comprise the majority of the population in many State run institutions. For many inmates it boils down to what type individual they would prefer to serve their time with.
