Don't violate the law. Don't get thrown in prison.

That was a very boneheaded statement. The purpose of prison is not to provide fresh meat for rapists. It is a place to be punished. Secondly the United States has the highest imprisonment rates in the industrialized world. There are a lot of innocent people in prison too.

Lets face it if you make a prison a place where people learn and are forced to behave like animals then don't be suprised if they come out worse than when they went in.

I forget the "Five R's" of prison theory...but it is something like Revenge, Retribution, Resocialization, Rehabilitation, and one other....that let's just call Relocation. We have not paid much attention to those divisions in quite some time though.
