Prison isn't a reward and harsh sentences are proven to not deter crime at all yet people still cling to barbarism.

    No, prison is just a place where criminals can gain access to larger criminal networks and do even more crime.

    That's a problem with the structure but still doesn't make it a reward. This focus on punishment is a big part of why the US has such a shitty recidivism rate.
