Back to philosophy:
Prisoners should indeed suffer for the wrongs they have done, not only because locking them up keeps society safe, and not only because their suffering may deter future offenders, but also because it is better that they come to truly understand the error of their ways, even if they never step back into society afterwards. In bringing about the feelings of shame that attend moral insight, punishment can add moral knowledge to the world. And more knowledge is better than less.On Retributive Punishment | Issue 163 | Philosophy Now
