We went through this once in detail many years ago, and if I have time I'll try to recall the proposal I came up with then.

However - before you can really come up with an effective prison, you really need to know what you want to achieve with incarceration. Is it punishment? Is it rehabilitation? Is it the protection of society from the criminal (and, on occasion perhaps, vice versa?)

The suggestions above seem to be primarily punitive. I'm not saying that's wrong; I'm just wondering if that's the only objective of the prison system.
