The AI Scaling Hypothesis
You want to make sure offender doesn't cause any more suffering of others and you want to help him become somebody better. I know US prison system exists, but we officially dropped torture as a punishment some time ago.

We didn't drop torture, we just shifted from physical to mental torture in the form of solitary confinement or "white torture".
The effects of white torture are arguably worse, but they let us pretend to be less barbaric.
