Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation?

In my stand, since the main factor of punishing a convicted individual is to stop crime and make sure of the safety of the society, I go for punishment.
Punishment deters criminals from doing the same crime over and over again.In this case, the number of crimes, especially the serious ones will definitely stop from arising.

∙ 14y agoPrions should be more rehabilitory in nature because most of the prisoners are addicted to a certain drug, which is the base reason they comitted the crimes in the first place, if they were not trying to support addiction, they might not be tempted to steal/kill/rob/rape.

Is prison fun?
No, prison is not meant to be a fun or enjoyable experience. It is a place of punishment where individuals who have committed crimes are confined to serve their sentences. Prison life is often challenging, restrictive, and can result in long-term negative effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being.
Is prison a form of slavery?
No. At least it isn't intended to be. Prison is there to punish and rehabilitate (in some cases--the people on death row don't get any rehabilitation) the people who are in there, and the prisoners who work in the prison industries are paid for their services. In the US, the 13th Amendment abolished "slavery, (or) involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
