prisoners can be freed for "nallanadappu".. and i dont see why they should be freed for any other reason.. if so, why not ensure such "human rights" at the source? meaning, every judge reduces the punishment of every criminal by "x years" before pronouncing the verdict.. or do you mean to say that the uncertainty of when a prisoner would be released provides some "human rights" to the prisoner?
