It doesn't sound 'harsh' to me. Fact of the matter is that very few people care about people, criminal or otherwise, that they don't know. Every day, the evening news reads off a laundry list of people that have been killed or violated and inspires only a passing "that sucks" in most. If those people are criminals in the first place... one less reason to care. I'm practical enough that I understand the lack of empathy for the fate of hardened fellons. My argument against prison rape is largely a matter of principal and practicality, as opposed to empathy.
Buy the way, I'm sorry that you've been a victim of violence.
