Answer 2

Prisons are not there to rehabilitate prisoners, prisons are there to punish prisoners. It's up to the prisoner to rehabilitate himself by using whatever programs (and there are lots) the prison offers access to. If you don't like the penal system or the way prisoners are treated - usually better than their victims - don't commit a crime or you'll find yourself enjoying (or not) some first hand reality.
