What should prison be like?

[naut]

The problem with prisons is what it does to people who are only scentenced for a period of months to a few years. They end up coming back into society sodomized, brutal and in most cases severely mentally damaged.

Its not a bad idea, keep them locked in seperate cells, then take the out to eat and work. It would certainly stop sodomization, and the disciplined environment is a form of rehabilitation.
