Re:	Benefits in prison

Ah ... but we all know that a case can't "be quoted for a proposition that may seem to follow logically from it. Such a mode of reasoning assumes that the law is necessarily a logical code, whereas every lawyer must acknowledge that the law is not always logical at all” (Quinn v. Leathem, [1901] A.C. 495 at 506, Lord Halsbury).

In wrongful death actions, defendant should certainly get a nice credit for the joy which suffuses the about-to-be deceased, when he realizes that his family will be getting a nice chunk of money without his having to work for it.

... not to mention the funeral expenses which they'd otherwise have had to pay out of their inheritance, but which the defendant - nice person that he / she is - will now pick up the tab for.
