Haven't you ever heard the old adage, "You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar"?
I think the problems with the prison systems are mostly pure laziness and ignorance. For the most part, I think the majority of cops become such because of their desperate need for power and skewed version of "justice". Not to say that's all of them, because I have in a slightly personal way known a few cops that were really great people, and really great cops.
But people should not be treated as like ****, even if they've done heinous crimes. They're pitiful, miserable creatures and they should be pitied. Rehabilitation should work on resolving the issues that cause them to be such troubled people, and our society should do more to prevent the things that causes people to grow into such criminals (broken families, terrible education, etc etc) but of course, that'd be too much work for those in power, amirite.
