You and I may not agree with them, but there are arguments to be made for isolation as a form of punishment. If you go through my comment history you'll see some of my opinions on Jail and, more importantly, what I think of how society treats ex-convicts.

As I implied, I don't agree with it, but that doesn't make it necessarily less valid. Many of these broad issues don't really have "Right" answers, they just have people on both sides who think they're right.
