 Either way it all depends on whether you think the main purpose of prison is to punish or to rehibilitate.

I think 10 years in a dark room by himself with nothing but bread and water will more likely stop someone from ever killing again than teaching them skills and trying to make them a better person ever will.

 

That would make him insane, 6 months of isolation breaks down even the most strong willed persons sanity. You would make he FAR more dangerous to himself and others. There is another way, but it's not an extreme left OR and extreme right take on it.

Okay I exaggerated a fair bit there, you got me. Sorry I'm just really against treating prisoners like regular law-abiding citizens, they should face much worse conditions as punishment for the harm they've caused society.

Of course they'd get you know an hour or so a day in the yard for exercise and stuff; and I don't mean just bread and water (because they'd get sick) of course there'd be vegetables and stuff. I really just meant no good tasting food.
