Prisons were created originaly to remove people from society without going through the hassle of having to justify an execution. They were designed as cages, not designed to rehabilitate, the idea of rehabilitation inside a prison is a fairly new one and i believe it's just an attempt at justifying the continued existance and creation of more prisons.
If by "fairly new" you meant the late 1700's, you'd be correct.
