It's easy to be an internet tough guy and hate everyone who is in prison, but there are still a surprisingly large amount of people who are wrongfully imprisoned, so making life hard on them isn't exactly justice.

Especially when wrongful imprisonment WILL utterly feth someone's life up permanently.

A friend of our neighbour got sent to prison for driving a vehicle for a mate that turned out to be carrying drugs. He came back completely changed, didn't trust people, drawn, scared. He was no longer the joking guy that he was before, said it was one of the worst things he had experienced and that he was an idiot for doing what he had and had learnt his lesson. It does sometimes work, not always but for those who do the silly things without thinking over the 'hardened/career' criminals prison still works to some extent.
