Not necessarily, though I agree some take that view. I don't; I believe it means a prisoner becomes in effect an outlaw, suffers 'civil death', is dehumanized. That seems to me to be both cruel and counter-productive (because it is discourages prisoners from thinking of themselves as potentially useful members of society - I agree with Roz's ideas about that.)
