Yes, or at least modify it if necessary.

Absolutely, I agree. I was only referring to the prison system itself. I don't think that it is a disregard for the law as much as an increase in social disattachment; i.e. more criminals who don't care about the results of their actions, and perhaps more people considering themselves anonymous and therefore guilt free.
