      What opinion exactly? You’ve only stated that you agree with someone else’s.
      If you think that subjecting prisoners of certain crimes to inhumane conditions is a good idea, then it’s a simple refutation: the justice system is not perfect and people who are innocent WILL be subjected to that treatment on occasion, which is unacceptable - a similar argument to the one against capital punishment.
      If you want to get into a debate on rehabilitation vs. punishment then that’s another matter.

          Well that is the very pinnacle of discourse my friend. Thank you very much for being intelligent enough to do it and brave enough to say it. I like to think I do the same when I encounter a sound argument. Are you a scientist by any chance?

          Edit to add:

              Nope. The ability to change your thinking on a topic as emotive as this is rare in my experience, and a sign of intelligence in my opinion. As is realising you’re stupid. The vast majority of true idiots don’t.
