This is a Cali thing, as far as I know. It's meant to reduce overcrowding.
This would not fly in some other areas of the US, like the south.

So... In other jails in the US, probably for profit, it costs money to stay and they don't give the option for a better room
I'm not willing to Google search this but, is this a cheap Marriott? Or a more expensive county jail
Well the room looks pretty crappy, but versus a dormitory with 8 bunks in a room, this is a Marriot.
A possible dystopian future will have the actual Marriott brand running these pay-for-premium jail cells. Future advertisements will boast about using credit card reward points to book fancier accommodations while awaiting trial for white collar crimes.
