I appreciate your correction Davel. I've seen some of your posts/comments in the past and they have always been informative on this topic.

I understand western notions of prisons paint ugly pictures of grey walls and metal bars so if they are given that much autonomy during the process, maybe that term was misleading and I apologize.

I do take issue with the hypothetical terrorist rebuttal though, because the same thing can be applied to the US policies. Yes, we did have terrorist attacks done against us. That doesn't mean that every person we locked up as a terrorist was one.

You might have the trust that China is telling the truth and isn't doing something similar, that's a valid enough position to have. Im still not personally convinced.
