Pretty sad that we treat caged animals better than people. And just like abusing a dog doesn't fix behavioral problems, prisons that punish without rehabilitation don't change people's ways.

Look up factory farming. Zoo animals live in luxury compared to most farm animals. So no, we don't really treat caged animals better than humans. (Both situations are despicable, though.)

Even animals on factory farms get fed.

We need a lot more compassion in the world in general. Is there some technique to make people or the world more compassionate?

Then we slaughter and eat them :-) So when we feed farm animals we feed ourselves. Feeding inmates would require less selfishly motivated motives...
