Would you vote for it, and would you appreciate the irony if you got that chance?No, they most certainly are NOT the worst treated human beings on earth. That's emotional grandstanding, and I think most people could make a pretty long list of people worse treated than American prisoners-- yourself included, if you cared to make it.
Kids are manipulated into taking drugs, then sold into prostitution in order to pay for them-- systematic rape and abuse that goes on for maybe 15 years until they almost inevitably OD.
Wives are beaten daily, and not just beaten but gaslit into thinking they are less than worthless. They are so demeaned that probably the only reason they don't commit suicide is that they think they aren't even deserving of an escape from their suffering.
People are tortured and eaten. Sometimes, they are forced to watch their children tortured and eaten.
Sounds like a bunch of hyperbolic rhetoric, right? No-- because the problem is that the kinds of people who do these things either ARE in prison or very much SHOULD be. I do not like that there's infinitely more concern for criminals than for the victims of criminals.
