Prison, in most countries, is intended to be vengeance. A bit of suffering is the point, unfortunately.

I'm not sure but I think that it's also to keep the prisoners slightly malnourished so they're easier to control.

yeah that's rough. Even as a non-prisoner, if I eat so few calories, I can't think clearly and I can't sleep at night.
