Respectfully curious. How do you define deprivation of liberty? Are you saying that incarceration should not feel punitive? Do you mean lose the liberty to move about in society, restricted only by a barrier? How about the liberty to choose your meals, for instance?  Or choose when to eat, can they order a pizza and have it brought in after being inspected? Should the incarcerated be allowed to wear street clothes?  How about Internet access?  Phones in their rooms?  How about decorating their cells.  Unlimited visitors?  Move in a girlfriend/boyfriend-s/he could pay rent to the county LOL!!  What is your line? I looked up liberty, there’s several types of definitions, civil, natural, personal, political, legal, etc.  Deprivation of what liberties do you mean?
