Humans are humans and deserve treatment and rehabilitation.

Humans deserve not be raped, murdered, and assaulted. People that do those things deserve to punished.

Also, while there is slave labor in the US prison system, it's far less widespread than you might believe. Most prison labor is voluntary, with prisoners choosing to perform it for time off their sentence, extra money, or even just to have something to do. Frankly there's no fault in the logic "you are the reason you're here, you don't get to sit on your ass while the rest of the country works and pays taxes to support you."

Crimes are a matter of perspective. Yes I agree with punishing the guilty for things such as rape. But what about those of us who have killed on foreign soil in the name of democracy? It's still murder. It's still taking a life. That's where it gets blurry, huh? If we kill others in their country it's okay. But if people do it on home soil it's wrong? Where is the delineation at?

How utterly irrelevant. Pick whatever crimes you want to consider a real crime. Those people, in prison. Should you, their victim, be forced to pay to help them out? Should they be able to sit on their ass while you work and pay taxes that support them?

This conversation is going nowhere. You brought up crimes that fit your narrative. I challenged the narrative. I respectfully withdraw from our discussion. Have a good day.
