hunger strike

i heard about some inmates, in conn. i think, staging a hunger strike in prison because they did not like being locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hrs a day. now, let me make sure i have my fact straight - they are inmates in prison (i think death row) and they don't like being locked up. maybe they should have thought about that before they did whatever hideous crime they did to end up there. also, i know i am suppose to be compassionate and love them, but you know it is really hard and if they want to have a hunger strike, hey good news, we can save tax money on food and drinks, save tax dollars cleaning up after each meal and if we are lucky they would not eat long enough that we can save on court cost for all of their appeals and maybe even save some on execution costs. i am in strong support of those prisoners and there hunger strike - good for them, standing strong and thinking about saving us some money. i am not in support of changing the rules on confinement, so if they want to starve to death, ok. don't like how you are treated, shouldn't have chosen to be a criminal. there that is the key - choice! i am so sick of criminals having "rights" that i could choke someone.... but then i would be in solitary confinement starving to death.
