RE: What if prisons were actually about rehabilitation?
Check out the Maxims of Law pertaining to punishment, you might find a few you don't agree with but you'll have no problem approving of this one:
A prison is established not for the sake of punishment, but of detention and guarding.

If you want the book on them. https://books.google.com/books?id=qMkEAAAAYAAJ
This sounds agreeable, but only as long as it isn't limited to detention and guarding. I would like prisons to still be places where you can actually create a foundation on which you can build a life on after you are being freed.
The mind is that place. Prison isn't supposed to be about Isolation either.
