Turkish prisons are beyond the pale of inhumanity : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 25/2/2021

The US and the EU will make a mockery out of the virtues of morality and human rights they preach unless they stop Erdogan's outrageous criminal treatment of his own people.

Midnight Express was a good movie, sounds like little has changed.

Whereas in Australia, guy I knew well once got his builder's license after during a prison stint for stealing money from a council he worked for.

I wonder if anyone has tried saying right at the start;
"Lets not waste our time, I will confess to anything you put to me
but of course no one will believe it so why bother."

I have never visited an Australian prison but from what I see in Media etc. many people would be better off in prison than keep fighting a losing battle with authorities !
On many occasions I think they put the wrong people behind bars when incompetent/corrupt bureaucrats should be locked away instead.
A bloke who kicks a noisy dog gets locked up whereas a Game fisherman can torture a Marlin for hours on end & he's a kind of hero ! Or, a bloke knocks out an intruder & he gets locked up & the intruder can end up with compensation !
So far as Turkish prisons go, let the Turks jump up & down about it !

All prisons in the world must be made more humane and respectful of human rights which prisoners do not have. The treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israel is a real cause for concern as is the treatment of millions innocent people who are living in Gaza and other parts of the occupied territories.

Prison is supposed to be punishment. Perhaps if ours were a little more harsh, we would have less repeat offenders.

As for guilty or innocent, deciding on that may just be a matter of ones politics.

Turkish prisons/judges/courts? Ditto, bah humbug, Chinese, Russian Iranian and Myanma? The latter where you can be killed simply for protesting yet another coup, by pocket lining Generals? And who knows what's on Russian menus for political opponents?
