Denying Proper Nourishment

German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "When fighting a tyrant, be careful not to become a tyrant in the process."

Nowhere is this statement more appropriate than in the prison industry. Regardless of how the we may feel about prisoners, each and every prisoner has a right to be treated with certain minimal standards of human dignity. Deplorably, denial of proper nourishment happens quite frequently in many of our nation's prison systems. It is a tragic corruption of human rights when a criminal given a one-year sentence has really been given a death sentence simply because he's been denied adequate food and water.

We can hate them, scorn them, judge them, curse them; we can take away their liberty, force them to do backbreaking work, and breathe a sigh of relief that they're behind bars. But we do not have a right to deny them their basic means of survival. In punishing criminals for their misdeeds, we must guard against the temptation to become criminals ourselves.

End the Abuse of Prison Inmates

If we want to end the abuse of prison inmates, we have to take a stand. Mistreatment of prison inmates is a national problem. Regrettably, it occurs in many jails and prisons across our nation. Any type of physical, psychological, or social mistreatment that goes beyond the bounds of reasonable or humane treatment can be considered an example of prisoner abuse.
