I understand what you're saying, and I imagine Daniel Seifert's family would be in favor of the "ice treatment." Probably a lot of other people feel the same. But if that were done then prison officials and regular citizens would be as bad as gangsters / mobsters. The difference in treatment is one of the things that separates the two groups.

I bet the Feds would love to "turn ole Joey." Boy, I bet he could "fill in the blanks." The guy would be a treasure trove of info. Sounds like that may be what they're trying to do.
