Yes, [amenity=hotel, involuntary=yes] is a poor way to tag prison in
the same yes as using [shop=convenience; disused=yes] is a poor way to
tag something where only remains of shop are present and it is
impossible to buy anything.

This type of trolltags is really irritating - and in general it is a
tagging for renderer to force data consumers to process objects that are
no longer existing.
