@elbanditoroso I see it a different way. These are human beings who deserve punishment and can be called scum though I doubt they are all scum. Some are there maybe not for drug related reasons or heinous crimes.
Still they do not deserve to be in overcrowded filthy jails even chickens destined to be slaughtered would dare spend a few minutes. That’s their reality, sure, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve some compassion.
These scum still have families who love them anxious for news outside the prison.
