>“The degree of civilization in a society,” said Dostoyevsky, “can be judged by entering its prisons.”
What does this mean, exactly?

What do you think it means and then let's go from there.
Or better yet, start putting some effort and thought into your OPs.

Better questions then:
What would the most civilized society's prisons look like? What would a mediocrally civilized society's prisons look like? What would the bottom barrel of society's look like?

The questions should answer what I kinda think it means.

The ones that are being sent to prison are sent to a **correctional facility** , meaning that they should ideally see their mistakes , change their behavior and leave a changed man and integrate into society.
Look Norway, prisons are like hotels, low crime rate
Look Mexico , prisons are filled to the breaking point, you have one of the worlds most dangerous mafia INSIDE the jail that punishes people who go against them by tying them up,slicing their anus , and have a man with STD fuck them
So yeah...
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons
