    Many, but not all- do offer rehab programs for those that can be.

      This depends on the country a bit, but in general, prisons are the opposite of rehabilitation, despite the countries running them telling the contrary.

      How gets one rehabilitated when they are pulled from their home, their job, their social surroundings? Supposedly, people are rehabilitated into society - the one they are excluded from and have no access to in prison. Especially in longer sentences - no internet access, years of societal and technical disruption, societies change in the absence of the prisoners. When they get released, they usually have to start over but with the worst conditions - while rehabilitation in prisons claim to help them go l with their standing.

      Rehabilitation taken serious would look completely different. Prisons are preventive custody and everything else is an excuse to distract from that fact. Some people may try their best in helping prisoners, but they are working against a system that destroys the chances instead of rehabilitation.

        The idea is for it to be an undesirable place to be. Not a $10K/rehab spa.

        Don’t do things that put you there.

            I said they offer programs to rehab people- NOT spa treatments and one on one therapy sessions. It’s a prison. A place that isn’t supposed to be desirable.

            Tons of ex-cons speak of the benefits of rehabilitation through the prison system. The ones that talk shit- don’t want it.

          if you are rich, they are a spa – if you are poor, they are only punishment – there is no rehab involved in either case
