What's the point if it doesn't rehabilitate someone? What does 1000 years of imprisonment do except psychologically destroy someone?
NOTE: I am not implying that 1000 years of imprisonment would be justified if it DID rehabilitate someone. I just don't get the point. I guess cruelty is the point.
Cruelty and sadism are about half the point of the US penal system, and the other half is slave labor. Like there is no more complexity than that. Anything positive that happens in prison is either an accident or an oversight.

Might as well just ram a pin into their brain
