I've served a short sentence in county prison, and even there you could tell that all prisons are are criminal training grounds. You treat people like animals they will begin to act like animals. That being said, there are some criminals that can't be rehabilitated and deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a shitty cell. However, it's just retarded that we lock our drug addicts up with our murders.
