Maybe not colleges but schools. Someone I know went to prison. He was there for 5 plus years but learned absolutely nothing. Like it's been said, he came out worse than before.

I like the prison to become learning institutions rather that punishment factories. Continuous punishment makes people more resilient in a sense that they will fight and be willing to take more punishment and reject whatever they are being punished for. Eventually, these people get out, it would be nice if they were better than when they went in.
