This country is far more preoccupied with the rights of criminals than the rights of citizens... or victims.
One of the jobs I'm working on right now is a major renovation to a correctional institution. You would not believe the standards that we are required to build to. This includes maximum security - you wouldn't believe the stuff these guys are entitled to by government policy/statute.
And nobody can answer the question of whether our correctional facilities are supposed to be punitive or rehabilitative. Not a one. Mixed missions, just like government - trying to be everything to everyone. Guaranteed formula for failure. I can't stand it, but it's a paycheck right now.
