74. I gotta agree with you on this one.

I cannot stand the SOB and I'm thrilled beyond words to see his arrest for what does, indeed, appear to be some really solid charges that show just what an SOB he is. But that doesn't mean I'd want to see him, or any prisoner at all, I don't care who they are, raped, beaten, mistreated, etc. Any kind of prison is punishment enough, even if the conditions are fairly decent or even cushy, precisely because it's PRISON where you no longer have the freedom to make even the most simple choices, choices we take for granted every day. Any loss of freedom is truly punishment, especially for rich fucks like this who are accustomed to being able to do what they want when they want and having all the time and money in the world to do it.
