While I have no doubt that these shocking public displays have always deterred crime,
extreme unpleasantness behind modern prison walls would simply not be sufficiently
gruesome or public to effectively deter potential criminals.
Even if I were to concede that severely unpleasant prison conditions would serve to reduce
the incidence of violent crime, following the speaker's advice would risk thwarting two other
purposes of incarcerating criminals: to reform them and to quarantine them. If prison
conditions are made too severe, then any attempt to reform--whether it be through education,
psychological counseling, or work programs--~ght have little effect on inmates, who upon
release from prison would lash out at the society that subjected them to such severe
conditions. Moreover, the chief reason we imprison dangerous individuals is to quarantine
them--that is, to protect ourselves from them. Thus as long as prisons are secure, living
conditions in those prisons are incidental.
Finally, the speaker overlooks certain competing public-policy considerations. One such
consideration is our constitutional right to due process of law, by which convicted criminals
have the right to appeal their convictions. If prison conditions are made extremely harsh, then
any eventual acquittal might be little consolation for the wrongfully accused inmate who has
already been forced to suffer those harsh conditions. Secondly, the speaker recommends a
course of action that might sanction abuse of inmates by prison officials and guards. Thirdly,
the argument overlooks all the ways in which prison inmates serve society in productive ways
while in prison. For example, many prisons have recently instituted programs by which
inmates refurbish used computers for use in public schools. A prison whose conditions are "as
unpleasant as possible" might consider such programs too pleasant for inmates, and decline
to participate; and society would be worse off as a result.
