    I guess everyone in those prisons are on death row and have gone through all appeals. Because if not everyone in charge should be punished harshly if anyone dies or even seriously hurt.

      They should be punished harshly if anyone that’s on death row and have gone through all the appeals dies as well. Being condemned to death does not mean anyone can kill you through their negligence. That’s still a crime.
