Everyone has an opinion.
But i would lean towards yours.
Take the case of Anders Breivik for example - this - (i don't even know what to call him because he's not really human / motherfucker ), has killed 77 people and since then he's been sitting in a cell that looks better than some hotel rooms - he have internet, he writes books, and complains about psychological abuse from the Norwegian government.
He even took his own country to the European Court of Human Rights.
I can't even imagine what the families of the victims feel when they see something like this.
