Locking criminals up for years, away from everyone else, seems like a horrible way of scaring others into not committing crimes.

Following this train of thought, ideally prisons should be replaced with a more public/visible type of punishment. Maybe caning?

I dunno. In the real world, I know a lot of people who seem awfully frightened of prisons. But sure, maybe they'd be more frightened of public caning.
