Inmates Also Have Rights

One of the places I don't pray for anyone to find themselves in is a prison. No reasonable person has ever gone there and desired to return.

The little accounts I heard from people who once unfortunately got themselves into the place weren't nice at all.

The congestion, the bed bugs, the sharing of bathrooms, and the struggle for survival are not things I want to even think about.

For someone like me, the scary part is being cut off from society, my work, and family. Your days would be wasted, and if care is not taken, you might not even recover till you die.

It is not a lie that some of the people in the prison are criminals who committed grievous offences. Some of them are so evil that if you hear what they did, you would wish for them to die.

However, we are humans; justice is supposed to be followed with mercy because people can change. The vilest person can become good; sometimes what they need is some time.

Considering this, I think withdrawing medical services from those in prisons is inhumane; it would even be better if inmates were sentenced to death directly rather than depriving them of health services.

I understand that these people are offenders, but some of the terrible experiences they are having in jail are already enough.

It may sound like they're enjoying the services of the society they offended, but it's not completely true. Inmates work; they are taught skills and carried to labor, and from what they earn, some of their needs are met.

Most people might be sentimental about this, but emotions aside, no matter what someone does, once the person is already serving punishment, harming them is like taking advantage of them.

It is just like destroying someone in their sleep. In prisons, those offenders are vulnerable; there is nothing they can do.

If you prevent them from accessing treatments, eventually they may fall sick and die; the question now is, how does this profit the government?

Instead of refusing to give inmates health services, they should be allowed to work and provide for those expenses.

Setting such a law will do no one good, even though it looks like the right thing to do, and sometimes the innocent ones might be the ones to suffer it most.

I don't know if you have heard that some of the people in prisons are innocent; life just happened to them. Imagine someone in that category falls sick, and he is not attended to; wouldn't that law be unfair to such a person?

As much as I don't support crimes, I don't support any form of unfair treatment, even to criminals. These people are already going through hell: poor feeding, poor environment, and so on, especially the poor inmates; the experience in there is never fun for them.

Taking health services away would mean destroying their lives. They might be wrong, but they still have rights, and I think it should be given to them.
