There are several philosophical approaches to the purpose of prison.
1. Revenge
2. to keep society safe from dangerous/anti-social people
3. to provide a safe space for rehabilitating people for re-integration.
I tend to view (1) as the worst possible option, even discounting the fact that we are completely 100% aware of the existence of false convictions. You are entitled to believe that revenge is a valid society choice, but I will definitely judge you for believing that.
