Edit: To clarify, the court interprets this statute as baring rehabilitation considerations in Federal prison. A Federal Prison sentence has zero intention of being rehabilitative, by statute and Congressional intent: Title 18 U.S. Code § 3582 - Imposition of a sentence of imprisonment (a)Factors To Be Considered in Imposing a Term of Imprisonment.— The court, in determining whether to impose a term of imprisonment, and, if a term of imprisonment is to be imposed, in determining the length of the term, shall consider the factors set forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable, recognizing that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation.

Odd interpretation, I think. To me it sounds more as if those who wrote the text, meant "Don't keep people in prison for too long, transfer them elsewhere to some place better for rehab as soon as reasonable." But not "rehab is forbidden and prisoners should get bullied by sadists"

  Odd interpretation? I am going with how the courts and case law interpret it.

  "You are going to Jerry's house. Jerry is not an appropriate source for hamburgers." This doesn't suggest anything about urgency to get a hamburger, just to not expect any.
