Yes they are people.
They get use to the rapes. Get good at it themselves. Comfortable with having/being an inmate boyfriend.
Developing a natural desire to do what ever it takes to get money out of the family.
Lack of desire to learn anything.
Basically becoming more useless to society then when going in.
I am not saying this to be smug or sarcastic. It is just the way of life that an inmate has to adjust to. It becomes very normal to them after a while.
Just another day at the office.
Yes, they are people that “love” and “care.” If not already turning into narcissistic sociopaths.
I guess it comes down to what ever society decides that makes them sleep better.
To me, it reminds of the little boy that bring a frog home. Wants to keep it, thinking that leaving it in a shoe box in the close it ok. Because they feel it is better to have it then to let go.
We know what happens to the frog.
Now we are talking about humans not frogs.
It is amazing how well a human can adapt to the most adverse and horrible situations.
So it is best. Basically for our own insecurity to lock them away and let them live. Believing it is better then death?
If I do something that puts me away for life. I choose to donate my organs and be put down.
