“But that’s how the whole system works!” Aidala said.

He's not wrong. It's always, "Quid-pro-quo, Clarice."

I mean, it literally is. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Deals, however, are normally plea deals - where the accused agrees to plead guilty to a specific (usually lesser) charge in exchange for a known sentence. Or immunity deals, where someone is granted some level of immunity around their statements so that they will give statements which would implicate a "bigger fish."

In this case, "I'll make up some shit if you send me to a better prison and give me fucking work release" is a "bad thing."

Right. Typically post sentencing, there is zero reason for a prosecutor to meet with a convict, unless they want more information after a previous plea deal.
