“The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” - Gandhi

A criminal is basically someone who wronged or oppressed someone else. I wouldn’t consider them vulnerable. Still a shitty way to treat prisoners

A prisoner is not necessarily a criminal, and a criminal has not necessarily hurt anyone. But people who are completely at the mercy of some sadistic prison guards are vulnerable as hell.

Tell that to people jailed for weed.
