No and the only benefit to executing them is no repeat offences

Definately, my dad is a CO so I know he will always have a job. If they are in prison they aren't a threat to the public, and there are some who straighten out their lives and become productive members of society. In the state where I live all prisoners must take classes to get a GED if they don't already have a high school diploma. I have even met people who have changed their lives after being in prison.

How do you mean, does it work? Does it keep them separated from non-criminal society? Yes! Does it rehabilitate? Sometimes. Does it make everyone who goes to prison a model citizen by the time they are released? Absolutely not. Elaborate, and you'll get a much better answer.

Yes. People fear going to prison. This deters crime. The fact that it cannot be measured does not mean it isn't true.
People who are accused of crime lie about it to stay out of prison.
It also protects everyone else from dangerous people that belong isolated.

If you mean reform some one from a life of crime, the answer is NO.
People need meaningful education, employment and relationships. Addicts need treatment, not prison. These things have to be earned for prides sake, they cannot be given. Things given or gotten for free do nothing for the soul.

No it does not. You get free room and board PLUS medical. Don't have to worry about a job or paying taxes. Seems to me they get the better end of the deal than the hard working person does. So crime does pay.

It does what it is supposed to do, punish criminals.
There are some who think prison is for rehabilitation of criminals, but that can only be done by their will.

It dose in a lot of ways
Keeps guards employed Some one has to build them. Some one has to provide for them Think about it there is a whole lot of people reliant on them.

In my opinion, NO. It doesn't rehabilitate them, it re-educates them to not make the same mistake twice. Got caught for it once, will know what not to do next time.

Kind of, because it keeps them off the streets, but not really, because they soon get out, and their heart is the same.

It depends on your goal: if you want the rest of society protected, yes.
If you hope to rehabilitate the offender to change his ways, well........
