    Are professionally bred domesticated pet animals not a perk of being a part of society?

    As long as it’s all offline or receive-only, should she also get any TV channels or blu-ray movies or game consoles she’s willing to pay for?

    I’m not here to advocate for cruelty or dehumanizing people who have committed crimes. Just wondering about the thought process.

    I bet for most people who aren’t “internationally infamous monster” level criminals, having a pet to care for could be a valuable part of rehabilitation. Maybe they could even take the pet with them after release to give them incentive to get up and go to work to support it.

    In this case though, it’s all annoying because we have a very very bad person getting outrageously special treatment for the shadiest of reasons.

      Is that why people are actually mad though? Because of the privilege that isnt being extended to other prisoners or because they want this person to suffer. I think it’s quite clear that they do perceive the injustice here being that she has a dog, not that other prisoners don’t have dogs.

          Because we’re not like her. Being cruel accomplishes nothing. Her punishment is being segregated from society. That is enough, anything else is vindictive.

          I think this topic might be triggering you, maybe filter out the names of the people mentioned in the title so you don’t have to see this in future.

              Prison isn’t a reward. Her quality of life is objectively worse now. It isn’t enabling, it’s the total opposite. Confinement to a place damage can no longer be done

                  Their not rewards because she isn’t getting those things because she’s a pedophile, she’s getting them because she’s rich and well connected. That’s the injustice here. Pedophiles aren’t motivated to commit pedophilia because they’ll get a dog I’m prison. It being a reward for pedophilia is such a poorly thought through take.
