Human Rights?

Omkar p

they should not lose human rights but their citizenship should be removed.

When someone is imprisoned that is taking away their liberty, which is a fundamental human right. Therefore, human rights are being sacrificed for the greater good. I don't think anyone who has seen what it is really like in prison can say it's too easy.

problem is every crime is not the same. watch law and order there are crimes against all kinds of humans and rights are to be respected not just neglected. take care.

A person is always entitled to thier human rights no matter what they did.

When that happens it is the jailers not the jailed that truly lose their humanity. God Bless

No they should not lose their human rights, but they should lose their civil rights.

Too easy inside? Sorry, but living in a place with the constant fear of being raped, murdered, or both at the same time does not seem like an easy way to go through life.

Their human rights should not be affected once they've been convicted of a crime... the problem is that too many abuses of the existing human rights legislation are possible at the moment. If we made more of an effort to redress the balance so that some of the ridiculous laws (burglar sues victim because he slipped on her wet floor!), then there'd be no need for this conversation!

depends what the crime is - it is not acceptable that someone
can rape murder or assault you as this is a breach of your
human rights - but then to claim that they have their human rights
breached by being punished for that crime is unbelievable - they
dont have human rights as far as im concerned - they didnt think
about the victims at the time

yes

Only if they have committed an inhuman act

its obvious that there is a massive misconception of human rights.

If they are in prison they have already lost one of their human rights, the right to freedom.
Now, what exactly other human rights do you wish to remove....The right to life?
The right to a fair trial?
The right to respect for private and family life?

Do you know what the basic human rights are? It is only the state can infringe human rights. The person in prison for murder has not taken someones human right....the right to life. They still have that right...he has murdered them, plain and simple.

If your question is do I think it is too easy in prison, my answer is yes, i think so. But the prison and Judaical system is another matter, set aside from human rights.

phooey

I agree with you wholeheartedly.
It seems these days you get rewarded for a crime not punished.

People are always unhappy, either in or out. And let's not forget that you can't have rights without obligations. So why shoud they live free is bird in a cage without anything depending on them? Without ever worrying about any responsibilities?

GANJI

no and no...u would only segregate them more from a normal life!

bobonumpty

well I think when a person is convicted of a crime and is incarcerated think they have instantly lost their human rights freedom being the most important one and having never been inside don't think its a bed of roses

Michael E

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, huh? Yeah, that's worked well for thousands of years? Not.
There has to be a better way.
But yes, I agree prison is not a place of dread any more and maybe people should be more scared of it as a deterrent.

latif_1950

the should not loose their rights at all,
yes, they are convected for a crime, and should get punished for that, but we didn't loose our civilisation to convect their rights

idhard2find&looking

does that include the wrongly convicted or political prisoners

caps_harper

I'm just scan reading through a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (yes I have a copy) some human rights do get taken away from prisoners but that is for the safety of the general public, in other cases the human rights are very open and can be twisted in ways which to some people will be a loss of their rights to others not.

this is a very open question and I was wondering which human rights were you suggesting? surely not all... such as they should lose their right to thought, conscience and religion - a thing that I could imagine being very good for prisoners.

Prisoners do lose some of their human rights I don't think others should be taken away from them, for the sake of themselves.

fire

No, beacsue they are still human.

progfest01

The thing a lot of people seem to forget is that they are all volunteers.If they didn't do the crime,they wouldn't do the time.They get as much sympathy from me as they gave to their victims.They are even going to pay them to play scrabble etc.Cant be bad.

BigD

What are 'human rights'

I mean, one human right is freedom to travel, and that is taken away.

LMH

depends on the crime, but as far as im told they say because they have lost there freedom and that is a human right and enough.
Me i would strap them in irons and flog them.......

Sally J

They lose a certain amount of their rights - such as freedom - but I do get the impression that they have it good inside too. Having said that, it is only what we all hear - I have never experienced it myself.

Starlight

Yes, because they violated human rights of others

roxy

Yes. They do have it easy on the inside. If the punishment was unbearable, they would think twice before getting into trouble. They should receive three meals a day but why do they get television and why do they get to go outside for recreation. What about the weights? Are they beefing them up so that they can do more damage when they get out?!

joseph m

there is no such thing as human rights only human wrongs ,inside prison you should have no rights other than the right to do as you are told.

eagle

Yes, they should lose all kind of rights, I don't think they have it too easy inside and they shouldn't have it easy any way, they should pay to the maximum for their crime.

Mary

yes
