"humiliates suicidal prisoners"

Recall that these particular prisoners happen to be suicidal

Imprisonment is quite enough. We needn't pile on. It is not appropriate to kick a man when he's down.

If we need long sentences, great. If we need to cut costs, make prisons less costly. If we need capital punishment, convict, sentence and carry it out quickly.

But humiliating suicidal people is immoral.

Of course not. Wait till he's half way up, better leverage that way.

I agree with you on this point.

If this weren’t the ACLU talking, I would agree with you. I don’t trust the ACLU to accurately report much of anything.

Watch yourself Uncle Miltie your in the minority on this one and I agree with you though.

Now if the same were done to terrorists in Gitmo standby because the libs would be all over that prison and heads would roll.

It’s from the AP, so recognize that it’s automatically a partial truth, at best. They probably make ALL prisoners wear something stupid, which I would support. And ALL would include those who are suicidal. But that wouldn’t play on your sensibilities like making it sound as if they purposely pick on suicidal people.
