You're simply blind to the human condition. As long as you want what makes you feel good to happen to prisoners you're never going to come up with something that works in this country. If you actually read how detterents affects crime in different populations you'd realize how foolish you are.

I'm not going to generalize and make a blanket statement for every inmate in our prison system, but it still stands that that some people are only changed and will learn the hard way and a painful reminder of their inmate days is sometimes the best deterrent. You can quote all the books you want, but having been to some of the countries I referred to, I also know first hand that harsh prison treatments work.
