Why should we provide medical services to prisoners?
I understand the human dignity argument.
But in all seriousness why?
If a prisoner on death row gets cancer, why not let the cancer kill him?
If a transgender (MtF) rapes a woman why not let the gender dysphoria serve as a punishment.
If a pregnant prisoner wants an abortion why not use the pregnancy as a punishment, why didn’t she get one before she committed a crime?
The only argument I understand is if prisons are supposed to be rehabilitative, & reincorporate prisoners back into society.
However, if prisons are supposed to be punitive as a method to de-incentivize crime then why not increase the maximum ethically available torture possible to make these people pay for their violation against civilization?
Just my thoughts, prisoners receive better ethical treatment than military people who become homeless due to mental health struggles, windows, or homeless people, sexual abuse survivors, etc.
