Just a thought: is 1 year of life in prison enough to deter most folks from messing with the law again in the future?

In the US at least, even if you don't find prison that bad, the charge itself can ruin your life. Having a felony extremely limits your prospects.

Yes for this kind of white collar crime. They are now unhirable as they have been found to be convicted for leaking IP, and this comes up in every background check.

Depends on the prison. US prisons have the goal to get you back into prison after release.

I would say that private prisons in the US (or elsewhere) are incentivized to reduce human rights over time (by expanding prison stays). This can be anything from subverting early release/parole or expediting additional charges/convictions, such as being involved in a fight inside prison.

Private prisons, civil asset forfeiture and property taxes are probably the three most common things the govt does that I disagree with outright on moral grounds.
