112. Again....

One issue has nothing to do with the other.

It's not a see-saw, where in order to raise up the perpetrator, we must lower the victim.

The fact is, victims are not wards of the state - the convicts are. We have both a moral obligation not to torture them, AND a rational society would do what's best for that society. Torturing inmates is not in the best interests of society.
