Jen, I guess that's the price one pays for intellectual rigor. It's easier to just stop thinking at a comfortable point for most people. And here that comfortable point is "She deserves it, so I don't care about the rest." That she might deserve it AND we should care about the rest is too grey for the black and white crowd. The crimes of individual inmates keep many people from thinking about the separate issue of the prison system as a rotting whole. Can't see the forest because of all the trees. Or all the people IN the trees distracting them.
