The idea is that by serving time or facing execution they will repay their debt and leave the prison or the planet "even with the house".<BR/><BR/>The comparison with animals, however is a non-sequitur because unlike prisoners animals are INNOCENT. I have witnessed social conservatives challenged for their seemingly hypocrital stands on abortion and capital punishment.

The treatment of Inmates by guards is horrenedous and to think they might treating the youth worse is unforgiveable.<BR/><BR/>I do not think Ed Rissis is the man for the job and Rissie should be fired. It is because of her our prisons are over capicity and yet she retains her job? She will go free and only Senator Whitmire, bless him will make her aswer to her misdeedes. Those who are elegible for parole and have jobs,families and church homes waiting for them and have clean records and had neve done any thing wrong should be sent home with all right restored.
