I don't know Wolfgang but I think someone who did what Brady did is likely to bring out strong and perhaps even irrational emotions in many of us. It is hard to accept someone who tortured and even taped his vicitms pleas for pleasure belongs to the same race, human, as you and I do.
That said, hard as it may be, I believe we should try to be decent ourselves. For me that would include protecting Brady from harm in prison and not exerting torture or other barbaric practices on him.
All that said, I do not believe a convicted crimanl should have the rights of protection to hide something like these photos or not to have his cell searched. I'd go along with the need to do things officially, ie get a warrant rather than dive in an kick the hell out of him demanding to see them but I'd think such a search warrant should be pretty much an automatic process.
