Help in what sense? It wouldn't be much use as far as rehabilitation goes, but neither are most prisons, and Azkaban is certainly worse. In terms of visitations or breakout attempts, what would be the point?

I meant not much would be done officially to help you reintegrate into a society you've been out of contact with.

If they don't help to reintegrate you, then you're more likely to reoffend. Even in Kentucky, they give you five dollars, a suit of clothes, and a bus ticket home.

A good point. This is sounding like a bad idea after all.
