If we had prisons like that Wes crime would drop like a rock....

Capitalism. And if you invest in the prison system. You make money.
And crime would drop, then bounce right back up.
The Latin American prisons are worse than Russian prisons, and their still is crime. Same for African prisons.
And in countries that execute, there still is crime.
During Rome's heyday, criminals could be crucified or become gladiators, or killed.
But, there still was crime.
Humans will rationalize to do bad regardless of the consequences. Especially if you don't give a damn about your life, or your life hasn't amounted to anything. What do you have to lose?
