Here's the problem - outside of prison time, the consequences aren't deterring crime. We can't accept the constant public looting of pharmacies or car burglaries as normal - there has to be a deterrence. Right now there clearly isn't, and it's unfair to those who are burglurized.
I never said that the guy deserves to get COVID, I said he deserves to be in prison. His conduct is extremely detrimental to an already struggling community. My sentiment was that he has no one to blame but himself for being incarcerated - thereby increasing his risk of COVID.

The punishing being more important than either the epidemiological crisis occurring in society at large or the prison specifically?

Again, you're wrong. It's not the punishing that is important - it is the removal this individual from society where he is causing pain to his law-abiding neighbors. I'm sorry, it's not ok to repeatedly steal vehicles with no repercussions and it's not ok to excuse this behavior.
