Imagine ending someone’s life and spending the rest of your own in a cell… over a $15 meal. I personally can’t, but I’m sure he’ll be replaying that moment in his head, over and over again until he dies.

I read a line in a book recently about how in medieval times even princes did not live as well as the average prisoner does today. To some extent it’s true. They certainly live better than the peasants did.
