> How could a prison system ever really do that? It's a punishment.
Reading this, I'd bet £1000 to spat out sweet you are US-American?
Because elsewhere, most of the civilised world treats prison as rehabilitation.

* Retribution ("a punishment")
* General prevention ("a jailed person cannot keep hurting others and prison threat is a deterrent")
* Special prevention (rehabilitation)
Last time I looked, most countries are mostly for general prevention with a pinch of special prevention. Retribution is not currently defensible philosofically or technically, though some people errounesly think it's the basis of the system.
I look with envy at how they do a lot of things.
I would assume that rehabilitation does not focus on changing people's ideological values.
Am I wrong? Is that a thing in other countries?
Few countries in Western and/or Northern Europe? That's a very narrow definition.
Even without the spelling or the previous reference to GBP, I could have guessed nationality from your tone.
