You should really do some research on jails and thier function, you would soon find that they rarely rehabilitate and generally compound the problem making the individual more of a threat to society when they are released. In brief, jails don't work, and they never have.
They were originally designed as temporary places to hold people on trial (Egypt gets the prize for this), it was never even thought of by the ancient Egyptians to hold people there indefinately, they'd end up going insane and plus who would pay to feed them? It's just prolonging the agony in my opinion.
Either get some compassion and rehabilitate or cut their throat and be done with it if you MUST have some petty revenge.
Anyway why am I even replying here... my original response was ignored.. *pouts*
