Here's some more info on the case (why she was in jail), for those curious.
It's clear that she did something awful, but she doesn't deserve a greater punishment than other people convicted of the same crime, I think that's the point being made here.
I completely agree; was just sharing context because I felt the article kind of assumed you knew the prior reporting.
I'm not, in any way, saying she deserved what happened to her or anything like that.
It's pretty clear that the guards let that happen (the whole "no one checked in on the cell for 68 minutes" thing when everyone is supposed to be checked at least once an hour), and that's not okay.
