Societies expect that people who violate laws to endure some amount of reciprocal suckage to balance the suckage they inflicted in their violations. That is called justice. Prisons, generally, suck. Are prisons good schools or preventers of recidivism? Some say yes, some say no. But most agree that they suck. I cannot speak for the remainder of HN but my read is that prisons are effective at delivering suckage--sometimes more or less than intended, which you can call a miscarriage of justice.
