Rights come with responsibilities, if these people choose to be irresponsible, then they should also forgo any rights that the rest of society expects.

Let us not forget that exclusion and rehabilitation are only part of the deal. They are also there to be punished. Knowing you bunch of socialists you would rather have just sent them to bed without any supper.

Those with mental health problems left to care for themselves and self-medicate, who do self-identify as having mental health problems, or refuse to engage with mental health services (often as a result of their mental health problems) can very often find themselves incarcerated. To them suffer systematic abuse at the hands of their guards isn’t really something I, living in a civilised society, am not at all comfortable with, and I certainly don’t believe that it constitutes rehabilitation.

As for the other category C offends in the prison, I still not sure if causing bitterness and resentment of authority figures, brought about by the aforementioned abuse at the hands of their guards, will again see them leaving prison rehabilitated and ready to return to society.

Personally, I think kidnapping and imprisonment is a far worse offence than fraud. But, (a) it’s kind of hard to punish a state for that sort of thing and (b) white-collar criminals need to be punished somehow. So, seeing as how it’s a sort of necessary evil, how about we don’t jump off of the deep end, and let them keep their human rights while the incarceration itself serves as their punishment? I know, I come up with the craziest ideas!

Oh poor loves. It’s tough doing porridge.
Well I’m sure inmates get called and treated a lot worse than than that, and frankly, TOUGH!

If you don’t like being treated like that, you shouldn’t have done the crime in the first place. In my opinion prisoners should have NO rights. I have zero sympathy.
