 Apparently you are forgetting the difference in someone ACCUSED of a crime 
 and someone CONVICTED of a crime.  Those accused have a right to humane and 
 decent treatment just as they would have in their own home.  They are only 
 being detained until sufficient proof and judgment has taken place whereas 
 those convicted should have no rights whatsoever during their incarceration.
