” You gotta feed him, you gotta give him medical care, etc.”
Why?
Because, unless he’s been given a death sentence, no one should be dying from neglect in prison. The crimes he was convicted of were not death penalty offenses.
He’s totally incapable of getting medical treatment on his own.
Therefore, if he’s in prison, we taxpayers provide treatment.
What’s the alternative? That every man or woman in prison, whether for tax evasion, grand theft, drug possession, assault, or even the few who are innocent (and we know they are there), is subject to a sentence of no medical or dental care while incarcerated.
I could not go along with that. Except perhaps for those who are waiting for the chair anyway.
Ouch.....the Catholics aren’t kidding around when they say kids will be punished for masturbation.
