Yes, even though an element of prison should be punishment for the crimes you've been convicted of, you would hope that prisoners would come out better people than when they went in - both in terms of their skills and their attitude to existing in society.
I knew a guy who went into prison on drugs offences and said that all prison did was tool him up for being a better criminal, if anything he was better equipped for crime and a life at odds with decency than before he went in. He said it was basically a big club where criminals can exchange ideas and cheats and schemes.
I know this is just ONE guy's experience but it sounds as if more rehabilitation is needed!!
