I totally agree Evie.
The "justice system" should be about acting in the interests of society, by removing dangerous people or providing suitable deterrents. It should not be about revenge, or punishment for punishment's sake. I strongly believe that.
Even if someone murdered my wife, I would not wish them to be treated any worse in jail than anyone else. My two hopes for prison are that people are released only when they are safe to be, where the crime was very serious; and that every effort is made to rehabilitate people so they can make the most of their life once they rejoin society. Even if they never will, for whatever reason, mistreating them in prison is nothing but petty revenge.
