As far as I'm concerned I feel no Sympathy for Charles Graner. He should serve out his term.
I know prison guards and prisoners. Most of the prisoners served solitary. Yes for mostly petty infractions. Lights 24/7, time alone for physical attivity, limited reading material, blah blah. It happens.
The guards I know say you wouldn't believe what the inmates try to get away with and some do. The guards also say you always have to follow the laws and rules of the country and prisons. They don't want to serve time with the prisoners. They have to defend themselves, yes. But do it right.
Charles Graner is where he should be. I think others should be serving as well no matter what position they hold in the admistration. The others that got out after serving time,they plea barganed.
I have sympathy for his family. I know the pain a family member feels when it's one of yours. Ouch. They [the prisoners]don't think of who it hurts. The sacrifice the family goes through so the prisoners feel better. I know parents that say their child is not a criminal, No matter what they have done. I can see how his parents would feel the treatment CG is getting is unfair. The infractions seems minor to us. But, they are not free. It's prison.
