Lawsuit asks state to pay for inmate's sex-change operation- What do you think?

[Daywalker]

Most folks are pretty skeptical about our Rehabilition methods,
or lack thereof...within the walls of our Prison systems.

And with good damn reason. There have been folks who have paid
for their debt to society, although I doubt their victims would agree.

With that said, would we still deny this request if they had robbed a bank,
or ran a finincial scheme on a childrens charity, or drunk drove themselves
behind bars? I think it is interesting how the perspective changes according
to the crime commited. Frankly, if we're gonna feed Death Row Inmates
for 20+ years, why would this expense be deemed as unacceptable?

Thinking Out Loud.

The Inmate commited a heinous crime; who is going to weigh
the crime and punishment on a scale and draw the lines?
