A person may become a criminal, but they will never stop being a person. Stop trying to find a way around human rights.

There's a conflation in the South between:

- Temporary civil death limitation on freedoms and rights for conviction of a crime

- Temporary punitive treatment including substandard healthcare, poor sanitation, , lack of climate control, lousy food, solitary confinement, unpaid forced labor, and lack of rehabilitation services.

- Permanent civil death and punitive discrimination in housing, voting, and job applications for the individual (if they were to serve their time and leave alive).

- Lack of professional minimal humanity shown towards the dead inmates' family who aren't necessarily guilty by association.
