I hate the idea that we have different kinds of prisons for different classes of people. In my opinion any kind of tax fraud or financial cheating on the public is a worse crime than most of the ones we currently punish with years of regular prison, except those causing physical / psychological harm to others.

It's also to do with how likely they'd be to escape and the potential damage if they were to escape that determines what kind of prison they're placed in.

If they think she might try to escape, she'll be placed in a prison with higher security if convicted.
