This is a misunderstanding of "human rights". Think of them as the fundamental rights that society declared everyone has as a result of being a human. Unqualified "freedom" is not generally regarded to be a human right, and nowhere does the existence of those rights include the right to not be imprisoned. They do, in most cases, provide the right to a fair trial, and the right to freedom from unlawful imprisonment. I know this seems like a pedantic point, but it's really important.

>Think of them as the fundamental rights that society declared everyone has as a result of being a human Like Freedom? And what society your talking about? In Europe its clear that everyone has at least the right to life, not so in the US (death-sentence), free-speech? No not in many-many country's. In prison do you have free-speech, freedom or the right to life (if you have the death-sentence)? No you don't...so talking about human-right's in prison is completely wrong. EDIT: Having prisons is just a trade-off of human rights for protecting the life of 'free' citizen's
