As near as I can tell, todays prisons are not much more than a period of taking it in the ass while you learn how to not get caught. There's your rehabilitation.
A lot of people don't realize where the term "deadline" comes from.
It comes from early prisons that didn't have walls, only a line on the ground.
If you crossed that line a sniper administered the punishment.
There's what used to be a deterrent.
