Prisons aren't a self help program, they're punishment


They're supposed to be for rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation died when labor unions became a thing. I am not even joking.

Originally prison was a place where people were taught a trade, and setup with a career once they got out. However, labor unions hated the fact that skilled people where being churned out through prison. These people (who were willing to work for less money then unionized labor) were stealing jobs from union labor and therefore they passed laws preventing prisons from allowing prisoners to do manual labor, and making employers less likely to hire people with a criminal record.

After that, prison just became a place to get criminals out of society.
