It is not new, and even common sense, that putting a huge crowd of men in a small place, with nothing to do ever, is only a recepie for disaster. So why are prisons design this way?

Professional prison services don't even call them prisons, but warehousing.

So, why is nothing done to fix this problem? Is the goal of the government the creation of suffering or rehabilitation?

Even the 100 year old prison life was better, when you were not idle and sardined in a small room with 100 other men, but pushed out in a yard and made to crush stones forever with little communication.

People in prison are usually mentally unfit and that shows first in communication defects and violence. The 100 year old arrangement took care of it naturally this way. What is wrong with the government to turn prisons into hell holes?
 
Most prisons today are a playground compared to decades ago. Which is part of the problem, in my opinion. And rehab is not known towork for the big time criminal, which are those in prison. Many even carry on their illicit enterprises from prisons.

Yes but I think most of them are just small time crooks. And those suffer the most. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
