mean spirit

I will definitely rate this move as more mean-spirited than outlawing folks from feeding the poor in the park in Las Vegas.

This prisoner, who has been in solitary confinement for so long he probably doesn't remember what it feels like to live among other people, got his story on the front page of the NY Times... and NPR did a series on the implications, good and bad, of solitary confinement this week. And now, he must be punished.

That's not revenge for making a cruel system seem as inhumane as it is? Please.

Someone in solitary confinement has had the temerity to use his free time to express his creativity; he must be squashed.

When was the last time those folks feeling threatened at the jail have donated $10,000 to the children of the prisoners they keep in solitary?

NEVER. But, this artist/prisoner must be punished.

This the same day that reports of waste and abuse come out on the prison system.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
