Seconded. The punishment is meant to be deprivation of liberty, not bodily integrity or whatever's left of their dignity.

Anyway, I think the whole issue of prison crime is one which could do with far more exposure, if only to illustrate just how bad our chosen prison philosophy is. Dehumanising people doesn't encourage them to become better citizens or pacify them - quite the opposite - and the sooner we realise that and start doing something about it the more likely it is we'll have a prison system which corrects behaviour and reduces re-offending, rather than just being a conveyor belt as now.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
