Yes. You can draw lots of comparisons on this side to the treatment that a convicted felon gets and say, “How can you deny this person when you extend it to a felon?” There's probably a whole litany of examples you can use. To every single one of them your only response is that it's not fair.
I mean, how can you have the category that makes you eligible for an extension, “incapable of work because of a prescribed illness, injury, quarantine or pregnancy”—which no one would disagree on—right next to “confined in a jail, penitentiary or other similar institution”? It just doesn't mix. It doesn't mix in sane thinking.
