Rights and Responsibilities,it seems to me, ought not to be culture bound-so I will put forth the conclusion that I have come to through professional experience-ANY society which asserts the right to deprive any person of their freedom,by arrest or imprisonment,must assume the absolute moral responsibility for SAFE CUSTODY(shouting on purpose) of that person.

There is no doubt that any human being placed in the precarious situation that John Brady was placed in, would be under huge pressure.
