However, the deterrent factor of punishment does have to be retained. While it should primarily be about rehabilitation, it should by no means be seen as an easy way out.

I don't know who said this originally, but I like the quote nonetheless:

  • "I'd like to start off by saying that prison is truly a living hell. It is a place where love and compassion are looked upon as weaknesses and violence and brutality are worn like a medal of honor. Prison is a tedious task of survival that could shatter your dreams and ambition. [Prison] ISN'T designed to help you rehabilitate yourself or even help you to become a productive law-abiding citizen."
