A CAPPTIVE Snapshot of Life under Covid

With regards to the hardship of the double lockdown, it seems to me human beings get used to anything. We did get used to being alone, isolated, and without projects, activities or responsibilities to give some meaning to our time in prison. However, I increasingly wonder what the sense of all this is. With perhaps the exception of dangerous prisoners the stated purpose of the prison system is the rehabilitation of offenders. Yet to keep people isolated from their families, locked up, without any meaningful activity to engage in and in an environment full of drugs is obviously the opposite of 'rehabilitation'. It is detrimental, not just to prisoners' mental and physical health, but to society as a whole.
