Not going to bother to reply to the one who replied to you already, I feel like it's a wasted effort.
But I agree with you. I read this before seeing the name at the top, and felt deep remorse for another human's suffering. Reading the name at the top didn't change that, it just informed me that the person suffering was someone who has done terrible things. But that doesn't change that a human is suffering.
Justice is not revenge, justice is not punitive, justice is not violent unless it must be. Justice is removing someone from society until they can be rehabilitated, and removing them from society permanently if they cannot be. But removed from society does not mean abused, beaten, neglected, or treated like an animal in a cage. That makes the jailer just as guilty of criminality as the jailed.
Think of it this way: if someone attacks you with a knife, and you defend yourself and kill them, you have acted in self defense. If someone attacks you with a knife, you get away, and then spend a year hunting them down and kill them, you are a murderer. Just because that person has committed an act of violence does not give you license to premeditatively plan their assault or torture. Jails are purpose built, they are planned, we know what we are building when we build them. To intentionally build a university of crime with professors of cruelty is a premeditated act of violence against people who have not even yet been convicted.
We desperately need prison reform
I don't think anyone who suggesting that prisons don't need to be reformed. But if anyone deserve this treatment it's him.
It's also worth noting that he's probably laying on quite thick to try and garner some sympathy, he's not exactly known for being a truthful individual.
