[QUOTE="CPL, post: 806442, member: 6346"] Have you ever studied The Stanford Prison Experiment? I think there needs to be an open, honest debate on our nation's prison system. Personally I believe those who have committed VERY violent crimes (Murder, Child Molestors, etc) need to be put in a place like you described and never returned to society. However what about those who are genuinely good people but get caught up in the wrong crowd, or are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Number 1 - It's hard to determine these people from the aforementioned ones. And Number 2- does the current prison environment really rehabilitate them to the point where they can return to society changed and renewed? I don't know the exact figure, but I do know that the rate at which those who have been released from prison and return to it is very high. Many argue that prison environment (being held captive) puts a lot of psychological stress on an individual. Is it possible that that is counter productive to today's rehabilitation process? Is there a better way to "rehabilitate" those who have committed very minor crimes, so that they have a better chance of repenting and returning to society as a safer individual? Disclaimer: I'm certainly not advocating this for the man mentioned in the original post (I personally think crimes committed against the elderly are just as horrific as those against children), but this post just made me think of this topic.
