Conditions were bad in prisons at the time, but let's not make heroes out of Murderers, Rapists, and other felons.

You're right. Let's forget about the victims of these criminals.

That is no justification for treating them that away.America seems obsessed with locking people up.

Locking up criminals who are physically or even financially dangerous to innocent people is essential. Intelligent people are rightly obsessed with not allowing criminals the opportunity to hurt them. Locking them away from access to the public is the best way, short of executing them, which is also justified in many cases.

The overwhelming majority of prison inmates are actually guilty of the crimes for which they were convicted. 99.9999 percent of the time, all you have to do to avoid prison is not commit crimes.

I agree with Iiscarkat.

Most of them were neither murderers nor rapists. Some were in for victimless crimes or for far too long.
