It may seem a hard task to condemn fellow creatures to long years of confinement in prison, but it is not so hard if they clearly deserve it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals.
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
One does not expect to be comfortable in prison. As a matter of fact, one's mental suffering is so much greater than any common physical distress that the latter is almost forgotten.
In the final forms of moral disengagement, wrongdoers treat adversaries as subhuman animalistic, demonic beings. Expunging any sense of shared humanity eliminates moral restraints.
Jails and prisons are designed to break human beings, to convert the population into specimens in a zoo - obedient to our keepers, but dangerous to each other.
With the power of conviction, there is no sacrifice.
If people want to take their lives and are helped to do so, the punishment is tragic for all concerned.
I know what it's like to be ignored, and I think that is the big problem about the prison system: These people are being thrown away. There is no sense of rehabilitation. In some places, they are trying to do things. But, in most cases, it's a holding cell.
It's a monstrous idea to put people in prison and keep them there.
To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty.
