I know about it, but it's still punishment. Jail is not a nice place, it's not fun to be there. Even if you've been there long enough to come to terms with your incarceration. It's still jail, you're still not free. I think it's foolish to state that it's not a punishment because people can become institutionalized. Particularly in some argument in which you use such unproven statements like "it's not a punishment" to excuse greater punishment such as the death penalty. More so in the light that the DP system has grave failure states, is expensive, and for the most part in today's society...pointless.
Have you been in jail before?
