because nicknames are harder to choose and require thinking

We use nicknames so we have a sense of identity. Inmates use nicknames in jail also, but for the purpose of being able to track individuals, they are given a number also.

Inmates are given numbers because they've lost their humanity, their rights, and everything else. In prison they're nothing more than caged animals.
As for nicknames, we do that because its easier to remember... maybe out of respect?

I'm sure if inmates had a choice, they would have nicknames too.

It would be hard exchanging phone numbers. If I had to remember all relatives & friends numbers besides mine - OMG

Because if we did the government would have to fork over tax money for our care, then that would take money from their crack fund.
