...prison psychiatry successful? Precise figures comparing crime-repeat rates after Medical Facility treatment and after ordinary imprisonment contain no pat answer, because of the way inmates are assigned and legal technicalities (e.g., a paroled felon is thrown back in the pen for committing a misdemeanor, though he may be close to "going straight"). A research program is under way to grade the expectations for a prisoner's future when he is committed, and test this prediction against his later performance...

Christian art was an answer; his art is a question. The Mocking is a pathetic subject but not a ridiculous one because Jesus has chosen to be mocked.
