Agreed. Seeing that I might one day end up behind the bars myself, I care. I'd be fooling myself if I claimed that this could never happen. It would be incredibly short sighted and arrogant of me to say that I could never in my life under any circumstances commit a crime serious enough to end up in prison and therefore be labelled "criminal".
Furthermore, as I have
mentioned before, there are less than glamorous examples of what can happen when a society starts taking rights away from criminals. I find this example interesting, to be honest, but really scary at the same time, because the slippery slope there is very apparent and not only a fallacy, but an actual example from history.
