Jail is already hellish. Prison is where the vacations are taken.

[NEMDF]

The prisons in the Illinois Department of Corrections system are hellish. Part of the problem is that there is no interest by the state in rehabilitation of offenders. It is a complicated problem with no easy answers.

[bdfromlv]

Every prison is a mini society. Separately funded by the states or federal government to provide a humane environment as punishment and remove offenders from normal society. Having an emporer or king or fuhrer might satisfy your anger at abusers but you really dont want to live in a society that could do that to YOU. It may be a waste of good money but would you give it(society) all away for revenge.
