(Sorry, but someone had to say it.)
I'm amazed that people still believe that exposing already maladjusted citizens to this kind of brutalization and desensitization will turn them into upright and positive thinkers, ready to march in step with the rest of America's work force."
Is that the goal? If it is the goal is it possible? If it is possible, what percentage of inmates could be successfully rehabilitated? I don't think anyone thinks this kind of treatment is going to fix anybody, but they probably do think it will 'punish' them. Although even that is debatable.
I think a huge problem is that many people DO think prison fixes people, either because they don't understand the conditions, or they believe the conditions will scare a criminal "straight." Most people don't even stop to think whether or not this form of punishment is a good idea because it's an instituation so deeply rooted in our history, which is unfortunate because the reasoning behind it predates the Enlightenment, predates the dark ages, predates the pyramids! We're still using the same methods as people who thought the Earth could be held up by a stack of tortoises. Prison does one of two thing: it breaks someone (the outcome thought to be "good") or it makes someone more angry and defiant.
But what are we talking about here? Do we even disagree?
We'd have to know the name first though.

We probably agree to a point. Inmates are not being rehabilitated in the current US prison system. I'm just not sure there is an effective plan for an alternative... let alone one that would work.
