This attitude that "criminals deserve no justice" that is pervasive nearly everywhere amazes me. I cannot understand why people really think any system is so foolproof as to charge only those guilty.
A cynical observer might make a connection between the people who think that and the inability of the system to charge only those guilty.
An old saying says judge a society bynhownit treatsnits worst-off people. When I think about what I've had to hear from otherwise sane, well-educated, and well-travelled people makes me wonder if there's any hope for humanity at all.
I ask them two questions to get them to reconsider their position:
1. Do prisoners deserve to be raped as a form of punishment?
2. So you believe that women should be raped as punishment?
I believe that a just and fair society should never allow sexual assault to be used as a punishment. This is true whether someone in prison is guilty or innocent.
