I hope he’s treated well in prison. Especially if courts determine it’s best for society if he spends a lifetime there.
Just realized a part of that is for the workers there. If I were a guard I’d feel best about my job knowing it’s the most ethical prison it can be. If prison rape (if that’s what you were getting at) isn’t the sentence, then it shouldn’t happen. (If it’s the sentence, oh my.)
You’re absolutely right, and deep down I do agree that the civility with which we treat prisoners is the measure of society. Some countries more than others tend to engage in “revenge based” justice and its just yuck.
I got a bit carried away with my comment because lately my justice boner just keeps getting deferred or held over. It’s been a long time.
