Sigh… there is no such thing as forfeiting your human rights by committing a crime. You only forfeit your freedom temporarily.

And why mention that inmates have forfeited their human rights if you see no evidence of abuse? Weird thing to pre-argue.



Of course there is. Freedom is a pretty fundamental human right. We don't mind taking it away from some people, sometimes permanently. Then of course the death penalty is a thing.

Now organised abuse, or even not taking steps to prevent such abuse is accepted to be a bad thing by most of society so that shouldn't happen. But my concern isn't directed in any way towards violent gangsters that held an entire country hostage.
