years of depression has a numbing effect 👍

I do sympathise with that argument but I would argue that loss of freedom is a powerful disincentive. For some crimes disincentive's don't work anyway. If the goal is smaller recidivism rates I reckon you'd get better results treating them well as opposed to poorly. If you don't treat them like people you can't expect them to act like people.

I don't believe in prison for punitive justice. Prions should be used to keep society safe from dangerous people, not punishing them imo.
