John Walsh Show: Prisoner's Rights, should they have any?

[texas*princess]

From John Walsh show website
Victims and their families are shocked and appalled at how many special privileges inmates, who in some cases are violent criminals, are allowed. They believe these inmates don’t deserve the same privileges that free citizens enjoy, and say it’s disgraceful that some prisoners have a better standard of living than some law-abiding citizens. Conversely, family members of the accused say their loved ones are still human beings who deserve basic privileges, such as rehabilitation, education, conjugal visits, and health care.

I was doing laundry and had the TV on and thought it was an interesting topic. What do you GC'ers think?
