Do i feel sorry for criminals? I couldn't tell you for sure. Criminal is too broad a term.
Am i kind to criminals? Again this is an impossible question to answer. It probably depends on my mood.
I know I am kind to and sorry for one "criminal" in particular. My older brother went away when i was seven or eight. I saw him only a few times during the next ten years. Each time i saw him he was wearing a new prison jumpsuit at a new prison. For the longest time I wasn't even sure what he had done to be locked up... It wasn't a subject i was comfortable bringing up. It still isn't.
But he is out now, and is living a very happy life with his new wife and kids. I am sorry for myself more than I am for him. I would have loved to have had a big brother growing up.
For some, prison can be a very sobering experience. For others it is only a training facility. Im glad that in his case it was the former.
Sorry if this is off topic
