Wishing the prisoner's family best of luck in reassuring themselves of his welfare.

As for the fellow himself and anyone who thinks like him: no good ever comes of physically assaulting one's wife/husband/lover or their object of dalliance. It's stupid. It is NOT forgiveable, or particularly understandable, as millions of people manage to get over such emotional shocks without knocking someone around or killing them. The tacit acceptance/defense of such behaviour in some societies has led to horrendous violence against individuals, particularly women. Brazil has a nasty history in this regard, with men who kill or mutilate 'their' women often getting off with a wrist slap, since they were 'defending their honour'.

I have good personal reasons for being really put off by such attitudes and actions.
