What should prison be like?

[Faust|]

The idea of prison is to take a set amount of years from someone's life. Rehabilitation and education is fine and all, but if their time spend with a lovesick bubba is nasty enough they will do anything not to get there again. If they do anyway they are probably unfit for society and are exactly where they belong. Some people just can't be helped.

Not all criminal acts are antisocial. This means you are thowing in good and productive citizens and members of society into prison where they may have to fight armed prisoners or get raped numerous times, maybe acquiring a death sentence in AIDS.
