You have the right of it.
America's penal system is not about rehabilitation at all. It's about removing undesirables from the general population... and about profit. Aside from "keeping people we're nervous about away from the rest of us", the intended purpose is purely punitive, not about helping these people become productive citizens upon release (IF they're released; every excuse not to will be attempted).
What country ARE you from? You're not showing a flag.
