Not just prison but dark small cells with damp walls.
And several predatory assholes raping them.
Oh and don't forget to add some rats and maybe some cockroaches into the 
cells.
We'll teach that motherfucker not to steal another car!
When that car thief leaves prison he'll be a new man.
Probably angrier and more violent than the man who went in but hey, 
tough shit for him.
