The existence of a prison is based on the need to remove so called menaces to society from the general public. To keep them in the custody of the state and under a controlled environment for a certain amount of time, which varies depending upon the circumstances of their confinement. I came up this definition with relative ease. I believe the reason for this is that the prison falls under a social stigma where it's sole purpose is to lock up criminals and that's it. The majority of people have a view on prison that simply ends with a criminal being sentenced to prison time, what happens to a so called criminal after that is cared about by a very small number of people. I think this is a major issue that society has to direct more focus towards. Although some prisoners may be vile uncontrollable who are beyond rehabilitation, the opposite stands true for many prisoners as well. All prisoners whether ruthless or just mislead still have the right to life. In the case of Canadian corrections, although capital punishment is jot used, cruelty to prisoners can cause the spiritual murder of the person inside regardless of what little spirituality a prisoner might have left. One major fact that must be taken into consideration is that although we think mistreatment of prisoners doesn't affect us we fail to remember that a large percentage of these prisoners who are emotionally removed will eventually be returned to society. The difference that prison could make in a prisoner's re-adjustment of being placed back into society is huge. If while during the prison term a convict is positively reinforced through different measures it will in most cases create a better outcome for their re-socialization than it would if the prisoner spent the majority of their sentence under negative, hardened rules and lifestyles.
