  1.  @Leyrann  that doesn't justify inhumane treatment. Detention is one thing - inhumane treatment is another. I know some people are evil for lack of a better word but most are not, and you can't fix evil imo you can just keep them in a facility where they can't do any more harm. I understand the desire for revenge for truly evil acts, but they are already paying for their choices by losing their future. We don't need to subject them to further harm intentionally. In the worst cases I'm sure they would deserve it, but I'd prefer to let other inmates make that decision. Official prison policies should remain civilized, bec otherwise abusive treatment becomes normalized in general and can be applied to the average inmate. I believe there are many abusive and unjust standards and policies that are par for the course in most US prisons today. This isn't right. Most inmates aren't evil per se but disturbed or simply made a wrong choice. Detention may be called for, but intentional abuse is not. Traumatizing someone on purpose is also a crime - and it's no way to attempt to fix someone who may well be fixable. Only actual rehabilitation and getting them to face the consequences of their choices does. Also, most people are locked up for pretty petty reasons. Not all- but most in my opinion. Once you start learning the facts of the mass industrial incarceration system you'll see this very quickly. In short - if a person is capable of improving only humane treatment will help them reach that point. Opportunities, recreation, work training, basic life skills training, education, counseling, constructive therapy programs, and healthcare. If we want people to make different choices in life we have to give them the tools, it's that simple. It's the difference between constructive detention and just warehousing people and treating them like animals without rights. One is right and actually helps to fix a problem, and the other doesn't and just keeps the cycle going.
