This thread is treating the public attitude toward criminals as the main barrier to reform but the truth is that public sentiment has softened significantly since the crime wave peaked in the early 90s. At this point the much larger problem is the sheer institutional inertia and the fact that powerful interest groups have huge sums of money invested in perpetuating the current system. Instead of focusing so much on these abstract questions about the systems objectives or the public's attitude toward prisoners you might want to focus more on thinking about plausible ways to deal with the interest groups who are doing the most to maintain and perpetuate the system.
