The is probably how all jails and prisons are running their systems, too. Lots of these places still running CRT 4:3 TVs too. The 4:3/16:9 issues are rampant. And obviously the picture quality is just like you remember from the 1980s.
On a only slightly related note, there's a thriving collectors market on ebay and other places for "clear plastic" see through enclosure prison CRT TVs since they're both a novelty, and nobody makes CRTs anymore. People buy them to hook up to like Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo bare metal hardware for retro gaming.
It's getting harder and harder to bring them home. The prisons are trying to keep the items inside the system, even though the prisoners actually bought the items outright.
