Let's speak about these three useful methods. Are they really useful for prisoners or these are just thoughts?
Only somebody who has never been to a prison would believe that jails are still soft places. They can't understand how a criminal/prisoner feels there, nobody understand prisoner's mental fighting with himself. It's not easy to be (come) a hardened criminal and nobody is born as a criminal. Sometimes life can be very hard or can play a spiteful game with us and this natural event can be fatal for some people, who can not take hard knocks in life. And this situation like forces some people to be stern, to become criminals, self-murderers, beggars and at last some people just try to continue to live.
Does anybody ask to a criminal when he became a criminal? Why? Who and what forced him to be a criminal, to do horrible things he has done? Does anybody know what is going on inside the criminal person? Why he became so wicked person and finally does he tell truly what he wants or what his problem is?
Maybe some people just listen to them or their mental uneasiness /as doing their job/, but nobody trays to help or force them to understand mentally what they have done and what to do then.
From psychological and physical investigations have been known that early attempts at submission and rehabilitation where far from perfect. And it was only later discovered that no form of torture could have been worse than solitary confinement because it ended up causing within many prisoner's adverse psychological effects as:
. delusions,
. dissatisfaction with life,
. depression,
. feelings of panic,
. And on many instances madness.
Then, later on, was found out that the prisoner's uniforms also play a large part in destroying personal identity and crushing individual spirits, after was brought attention to redesign rooms that belong to each prisoner.
But not long time ago, during 18th century the prison was a place of solitude and separatism, when prisoners where even forced to wear facemasks that did not allow vision or communication during exercise periods, which was one of hundred reasons of diseases in the prisons.
So, as we see in reality, we had a large range of negative psychological experience here. So, psychological attention for prisoners came vary late. But even now prisoners don't have better times. Today's methods of prisons are not better than the methods of 18th century. The person, who was in prison once, can come out of the prison with other inner world or habits, possible with more anger or revenge and let's not talk about being homosexual, as well. The person being in jail only once, even if by mistake, cannot be trusted or respected from all people, to communicate with them without any problems or getting a job without problems.
So, still prisoners need to wait for better times.
Of course it's easier to punish physically, than to try to enter to their inner worlds and to try to help them morally which is a long process. Easier to close them in jail, what later can be a new world for them to go, to be real hardened criminals. And then what can stop them?
And is this a help or protection for other people? Does it help people do not be criminals and do not bother the world?
Like told one psychologist. Prisoners have to except the rules of prisons and have to be treated like children, without damaging their human personalities...
Now let's examine this all from the other side, which is easier and of course hurtful for us too.
Murderer, rapist, burglar, which one is not a big crime? Which crime is understandable? Which victim or victim's families could understand or forgive these horrible things? After doing all this they would given a sentence for ten or fifteen years or even life imprisonment. But it does not change anything, what's done, is done. Impossible to do anything and especially impossible to bring anybody back to life or very difficult to rebuild the same inner world of victims, doesn't matter is it a child, adult, male, female in who's behaviour strongly noticeable insaneness, shame, stress, abuse, nightmares, inability to sleep, destructive behaviour... And what about people who are affected by crime; not just victims but their families, friends or people who love them, who lost the closest person to them. Their hearts beat so strongly, they are so angry at every body, at the world. But they are helpless. And even ten or fifteen years imprisonment seems like nothing, seems so little. It's preferable, perhaps, to take all his (criminal's) freedom away, or maybe a better idea is to take revenge in their way.
Yes, in this case jail seems too soft for hardened criminals.
But let's not forget and notice that sometimes the crime creates another one, doesn't matter in a way of revenge or anger.
So, has to be a way to stop this life situation which flays on the ear like a boomerang.
And in conclusion, I think it is very difficult to find a decision which will help people do not become criminals or take them away from the wrong way and to make a decision which will be comforter for people too, who lost someone from their families.
