But I think the counteropinion generally being expressed here, if not clearly, is that prisons are extremely brutal.

My point is basically "so what?", i.e., they're missing part of their argument.

Also, extremely brutal compared to what? As ArisKatsaris pointed out in several places in this thread the most dangerous thing prisoners have to fear in modern prisons is their fellow prisoners.
