This all happens because in this country the politicians believe in "rehabilitation", which is a myth. With the exception of a few offenses, a criminal is a state of mind, which psycologists have stated cannot be cured. This is why violent criminals have over an 80% re-offender rate. This is also why the US has a convict percentage 4 times as high as most other countries. Most other countries you are "paying for your crime" and opposed to being "rehabilitated". Other countries don't give you all the fluff and amenities that we do. Heck entire criminal enterprises are ran from behind prison walls. I'm all for locking them in a room from day one and not letting them out of the room until the entire sentance is served. Bring them enough food and water to sustain them and hose their asses off once a week to clean them. If they act like animals we need to treat them like caged animals.
