Comes down to your level of empathy I guess.

I think there's a basic floor for how we should treat other people, regardless of the circumstances. Things like access to food and water, shelter, etc.

I'm going to disagree that the point of prison (as punishment) is cruelty. It absolutely can work without it, but I'll recognize this is nuanced and there are likely those that can't be rehabilitated effectively.
