Abstract
I don't like prisoners. Nobody pretends to like them, but every once i n a while, one of these people is right. And a society is judged by ho w it treats the least among it, not the best. I'm not worried about ho w presidents of banks and chairmen of the board and of country clubs a re treated, or star quarterbacks, or other prima donnas. The job of th e Constitution is to make sure that everyone is treated properly. [Pri soners] fall[] into the everybody category.
