Our prisons are based on rehabilitation not punishment. Rehabilitation doesn't work though and punishment is purposeless.

Pfft thats nothing compared to the violence of prison. You know they collect shit and piss in buckets and let it fester for weeks so when they want to attack someone, they dip their weapons in that gross ass bucket and then you get infected with a bunch of shit.
Prison brutal.
rofl, took me like 10 seconds to even realize that was a persons tattoo, crazy.

Absolutely. Perhaps an argument can be made for those with light prison terms (<5 years), but for those with a long stay, particularly lifers, these conditions are adequate.

Precisely. This is why those in prison should be put to work and at least earn some of their keep.

i'm assuming that there is a level of respect for new comers. for example, they're not gonna treat a new comer, who just killed a child, the same as a new comer, who used to be the boss of a crime family. Thanks too the History channels fantastic TV show "Gangland" I know the answer too this. John Gott payed protection money to the Aryan Brotherhood AKA The A.B., AKA The Brand. They are basicly the main White prision gang in the federal system. The AB is allied with the Mexican Mafia AKA La eme. The AB and la eme have joined togather to protect themself from the larger black inmate population and gangs. Like the Black gurrila family, the bloods, and the crips.

I guess Asians are just raped silly then?

I just watched the whole documentary. It wasn't particularly eye-opening but it was really grim.
EDIT:
That's partially how European countries are willing to consider aesthetics in public buildings. Public structures in the United States have been built at minimum cost for decades.

Then John Gotti became overconfident about his own safety and stopped the payments. Therefore the AB secretly used a big black man to beat him badly as a warning. Gotti had no choice but to start paying his protection money again. Eventually he died from a neck cancer.
