It's meant to be a deterrent.
The idea is it's so awful that it's the absolute last place any reasonable sane man would ever want to end upk so conduct oneself accordingly.
For those who don't, being sent there is just punishment for their crimes, and justic4 for law-abiding society.
As Bruce Hornsby, Tupac Shakur, and Walter Cronkite all so eloquently observed, that's just the way it is.....
"I am the stone that builder refused, I am the visual The inspiration that made lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright The same spark that lights the dark So that you can know yo' left from yo' right I am the ballot in yo' box, the bullet in yo' gun The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son The story that just begun - the promise of what's to come And I'm 'a remain a soldier 'til the war is won"
