Still in that case if somewhere were maybe sentenced to life in prison without parole, that someone is still a human being. They still get my empathy. I will still advocate for them to receive mental health care, be treated with basic human decency, and be allowed to maintain their dignity as a person.
Also, thank you for saying I did a good job wording my feelings
Thank you for this, Losty.
I get very emotional about this subject. I think because I look at society as a whole and how they view prisoners and it makes me so sad. And often when I try to speak up about it I am attack for being a rape apologist or a murder apologist or a whatever apologist. It's really hard for me to understand people sometimes. It's like I'm on a different brain wave. In my mind, you shouldn't define a person by the bad things they may have done. In my mind, all people deserve empathy.
