In no way do I believe that criminals shouldn't be punished, but I do believe they deserve some basic human rights.

You and I are in complete agreement.

Sadly, respect for human dignity is not really a popular idea these days.

Some call us Pussies for that, but after the horrors of the Nazi era, my country wrote a constitution that starts with "Article 1 - 1, The human dignity is untouchable. To respect and protect it is a task of all state powers." Therefore: no restroom-cleaning with a teethbrush in the military, but unfortunately rape in prison, too. :-(
