The prisons of the future should prepare the prisoner to be released back into society and give that prisoner the tools to succeed once that happens.
You wake up and everyone you know is either really old or dead. You can't communicate well, have no cultural references, etc. and if yourj brain were active the whole time, it would really suck.
