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.

i get what you mean but personally, i always side on the victim, always, rather than the criminal. that's the reason why as much as i want to feel pity for these prisoners, i can't. i consider them as trashes of our community. sure, some thrash can be recycled thru some process, but i don't want them to mess with the good ones. it will always stink no matter how you try to polish it to blend with others.
the same way with criminals. no matter what kind of rehabilitation, proper conduct, etc. etc., you want them to have in prison, i can't imagine myself trusting a murderer to stay close to my loved ones. once a killer, always a killer. same goes with rapists, drug addicts, offenders, terrorists, etc.
also, i don't think it's cops responsibilities to ensure these inmates learn there lessons thru a peaceful manner. learn their lessons, yes. thru peaceful manner, no. i say beat them up, do what's the usual sick things done in prison, and then, they will learn. it's not always for the purpose of learning so they can go out prison with a good, loving nature, no. learn here means if you have the urge to be a rapist/murderer/durg addict again, you betta remember what they did to u in prison. bam!
