That doesn't seem to be working at all.
apdst said:personally, I think prison isn't hard enough. I think we need to create an even more dangerous and scary environment that there already is.
Don't like it? Don't break the law. It's that simple.
Psychology has been discovering that punitive treatments like abusing people and the like don't do much to stop someone from doing bad things long term.
I used to believe the same as you but changed my stance when i read about this, you have two choices kill them or rehabilitate them with positive reinforcement and of things like token economies.
