Treat your prisoners as you wish for them to treat you upon release. 
And..... If they are never going to get out, why bother treating them like shit? Even if you change their nature, they will not be back in society anyways. |
Exactly. When you treat people like animals they become animals. The odds of someone who goes to prison for any significant amount of time getting out and becoming an productive member of society are already pretty long. When you cage them up and turn prison into the Lord of the Flies there is almost no chance of them going on to lead productive lives.
