They treat terrorists at Gitmo better than they treat petty criminals in Connecticut jails. How would you know how they treat soldiers? I've been through basic training and YOU are full of shit. My guess is you have been neither. (yet)<br /><br />"they are in prison. Its not a pleasure cruise." No shit, Doc.<br /><br />"Maybe they should have thought twice about committing a crime." No one in the history of Connecticut has ever been wrongfully accused or convicted. Yeah, right.<br /><br />"I don't think we should make it comfortable for them." Define your idea of comfort.

Should prisoners be deprived of medical care necessary to alleviate suffering?<br /><br />"How about the injuries, both physical and mental 0r (sic) even death to their victim and their families?" That is why some of them are in jail, but how about the wrongfully convicted? Or petty criminals?
