Proper justice for those inside has to be a good thing right? I’m not really familiar with how it was but needing to provide an appropriate level of evidence to carry out additional punishment has to be a fairer better option?
I’m just not used to inmates being treated like humans.
Yeah that’s fair. Everyone is just focused on the punishment side of imprisonment. You tend to forget they are still humans instead of animals or just numbers.
