I'm all for self sustaining prisons. Prison farm programs seem to work well.
They could even make their own biofuel to generate electricity and warm water for the prison. Chip in, or sit in the dark. Sit in a room and wait for your food to be served is not how prisons should work. That only turns people into caged animals.


Meh I say why not? For non-violent offenders or low class violent offenders, I can see not doing that but for violent offenders like rapists they should be turned into caged animals.

And what's the point of that? Satisfaction of revenge?
It costs more and it will not turn those people into valuable members of society. Rapists don't get life, so you're for eventually releasing a caged animal back into society? A prison system where your earn comforts and the right to work and learn are preferable.

Psychotic serial killers and other sadistic criminals, I don't what if they can be rehabilitated. Still makes more sense to put them to work instead of feeding them for free.
