Other countries put people in prison to protect the public, not to make them suffer. Many countries dropped the victorian method (lock people up and throw away the key, and lock them up in fairly nasty conditions)of prisons when they figured out it does not work. How much they have varied from the Victorian method of prisons depends on the country, from Scandinavia at the one end,to the UK at the other.
