Petty points.

proceed with the procedure


Sounds a bit too proceed-y. Maybe say something like "go through with the procedure?"

rebuts @@RANDOMMALENAME@@


"Rebuts" sounds a bit biased. I mean, the verb is defined to mean "to claim or prove that (evidence or an accusation) is false." If Option 2 indubitably falsifies the guy in Option 1, we need not discuss it further, do we?

Maybe say something like he "retorts" or "rejoins."

a former inmate who now is a prominent masseur


Is there a specific reason why the speaker here is a masseur?

If, in the last option, prisoners lose the right to eat, is that meant to convey that this option in effect introduces the death penalty through starvation? This may be well what you intend, given the speaker's obvious extremism; but if so, maybe make it a little more clear that that is what will happen, because while the text suggests it, I believe it's the kind of thing that not every reader will pick up on, so they might be surprised by the outcome.

That aside, I believe this issue looks good to go. :)

I changed it to "decent" food to get rid of that risk.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
