Consider the following view, expressed on social media in response to the Waikeria prison riot of 2020: 

"They're not destroying the prison.  It was already destroyed.  Not condoning their behavior.  Prison is meant to help these people back into society, they have made a bad judgment call and acted on emotions. They simply need help and a lot of faith to do so. They will have consequences  they need to learn how to respond rather than react. They need help and support to start making better choices, not chucked in the too hard basket or the next lot of mistake makers will have no hope." (slightly edited for clarity)
