“It was their healthcare (military doctors) that should have diagnosed me before my first attack that failed while still in the military.”
One of my closest friend’s father was waiting for a heart transplant. An incarcerated man came before him. The man, former military, died.
Not all incarcerated persons deserve the death penalty and are illegals in this country. Most people view inmates as non-human and that is contrary to all that we Christians and Americans should stand for. Don’t you personally know someone who has had problems and who has been locked up at one time or another? Most of us do.
How we view and treat our prisoners reflects our level of humanity in so many ways. I’m sorry for your friend’s situation, but that “incarcerated” person deserves to live just as much as your friend. It is all a matter of perspective. 80% of inmates will serve their time and come out of prison. How humanly they are treated in prison is directly proportional to how they will live out here — among the rest of us “perfect people”.
That breaks my heart.
