" Punishment, isolation, deprivation, restraint, subjugation. These are our societal responses to violence. But we have the sequence wrong. These are the elements that give rise to violence rather than quell it. And misguided attempts to clamp down on violence to an even greater degree can drive a malignant innovation that distills aggression into a more highly evolved form. We have constructed prisons to eradicate human violence, but we have, in fact, created crucibles that render the human capacity for violence even wilier, even less predictable, even more severe. "
