I think prisoners should have to pay their own way. There should be a farm, a factory or some sort of business that pays for their jail time.
Once released, our prisoners make their way into a semi half way house, semi school. They get an education, job training and become established before we toss em out into the street.
That is more rehabilitation than three hots and a cot.
