But, I agree. Prisons have a responsibility to protect their prisoners--even the most despicable. And they certainly have a responsibility to not inflict the kind of cruel conditions that would be considered torture--anywhere.

The deaths of these serial killers under prison protection is unacceptable, but it pales in comparison to all those Texas inmates--many who may not even be guilty (although that should not matter) and whose deaths are either not reported or attributed to anything but the actual cause--heat-related tortuous neglect.
