I have no problem with this. I'm for a major cleanup of our prisons. No prisoner should be allowed to be in a gang, a prisoner who attacks another prisoner should lose his access to other prisoners, and the warden should be fired if one person is raped in his or her prison.

Remember, each and every one of us is one good false accusation away from the inside ourselves. We are one of the most over-legislated societies on the planet. If the powers that be want you in prison, you'll be there, innocent or guilty. So they should be tightly controlled, safe places, and the people running them should be held responsible for the prisoners' safety at near zero-tolerance levels.

I think the application of 'shock aversion therapy' would do the trick to 'change' the behavior of these incorrigible individuals.

Nothing else seems to work, and believe me, *I* avoid being shocked at all costs (having been bitten in the past from a wide variety of things in different scenarios; the memory lingers and I have no desire to repeat the experience!)

Establish a strong enough connection between the prohibited activity and painful memories/ recollections/ and fear of a return for 're-treatment' and such behavior drops drastically.
