misplaced compassion #1

     One of the things still being perpetrated in the name of compassion in the United States is permitting babies to be born in prison, and to remain there--perhaps for years. They are citizens who have not been convicted of any crime--and even an instant spent behind bars by an infant is a travesty of justice and worse. Suggestion--pregnant inmates be removed from the prison to give birth, the child to be restored to them when and if they leave the prison. No exceptions.
