As far as I am concerned people should be put in prison to protect the rest of us, from them, if they are violent and to be punished for committing any other crimes against Society and/or any person. The punishment, in my view, should be the lack of freedom to do as they please and they should be detained, securely, away from known associates with whom they may plot and execute further criminal acts.

A prisoner should be fed, educated and have their health issues taken care of by the State, while they are in prison. Other than emergencies, each prisoner's health needs should be decided on a case by case basis. If their needs would ordinarily be met, were they not in prison, then those needs should be dealt with when they are prisoners. There should be no difference.

Religious beliefs should also be catered for with time and a private area being made available to worship and receive religious education as required.
