Effectiveness of prison

I don't think prison has anything to do with punishment, rehab, or anything else. I think it has to do with giving society the feeling that justice has taken place. Those interpretations are from the perspective of the incarcerated which, in answering this question, is, imho, not correct.

That explains the outrage over prison amenities like cable TV and Playboy subscriptions as well as the deafening silence w/r to the sexual and physical abuse that occurs there.

Prison is resitution to society. Nothing more, nothing less, imho.
