You know I am just not certain I care, for as much as I believe people should be afforded every opportunity to prove themselves innocent I also believe that people convicted of crimes are sent to prison not just to get them out of the publics presence but also as a punishment and as such their time in prison should not be an enjoyable experience.
So other than applying it to those awaiting trial I really don't have an issue with what this guy is doing in terms of prisoner treatment however I do think his personal activities are a lot on the dodgy side so who knows a few years from now he may find himself on the receiving end of his own system.
