It's what our politicians claim the system is for. It's obviously not, but that's the claim.
From an outsider view I did not even know that your politicians claimed that, I thought it was just a few more hopeful ones saying it should be that. I always assumed it was common knowledge that the system in the US was for punishment and whatnot first. Might just be me seeing the movie "Tank!" as a child.
