Article 3 ECHR should prevent the prison authorities from putting any prisoner in a position where they know he's going to "get roughed up". You and I both want that right for ourselves, so surely we should also extend it to Sarzoky?

So you don't think that increasingly violent populist right wing rhetoric has any impact on the current surge of political violence, that is provably committed by mostly right wing individuals? I'm telling you to include these quotes because they're incredibly relevant. You remaining blind to this is in very bad taste.

Sarkozy is at the root of much prison violence, but we should feel sorry for him now that he's facing prison himself? I won't. I am merely wishing for him to get a taste of his own medicine, not to be subjected to senseless, uncalled for physical violence.

I'll link you aaplok's comment, somewhere else on this thread, that summarizes my viewpoint with much more verve than I: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45667285
