There will always be people in prison who don't belong there. Even if you don't care about being humane to real criminals, that should be enough reason to be humane to prisoners.

I recognize that HM - please! My point was that there are options available to us as a society where we can better utilize the monies sent on those incarcerated or reducing that number.

Either one affords us the opportunity to take care of, what I feel is, a more deserving segment of society.

Any monies spent that result in inhumane treatment of prisoners is disgraceful, not better utilized.
