The context is certainly relevant. Your comment dehumanizes and objectifies her. You insinuate that events were imposed upon her.
My comment recognizes her own role. She was able to affect her own destiny, by making decisions and taking actions affecting herself and those around her.
You would deprive her of the effectiveness of her acts, rendering them meaningless. You would strip her of her agency.
Nah, they are only taking her freedom. You are the one stripping her of her agency. You're taking away even the possibility of consequences. You're treating her as an infant, or as the legally insane, incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, and thus necessitating protection from ever having to decide between the two.
Until you address the actual circumstances of her incarceration, we can make no determination as to whether she is a victim. Until we can evaluate her role, we cannot determine whether she is perpetrator of crime or victim of injustice.
