I would think that most people, given 1000 years to grow, would come out of the experience changed for the better. There’s nothing saying that the 1000 year sentence would be torture, it could be 200 years of showing you the consequences of your actions as they had been, and then 800 years showing how to be a better person.
The real torture would be getting pulled out and realizing that while you’ve lived 1000 years, you’re now in your 20s again and everyone around you is much less mature than you are.
The problem is that, of course, the drugs don’t actually give you 1000 years to improve - it just temporarily ruins your ability to gauge time rather than actually extending it.
And also in many situations people then return to modern socioeconomic states where their criminal history and social status means they fight to eek out an existence while society looks down on them at every turn
And in this case, for you, the criminal, whatever you’ve done was several lifetimes ago, but got the rest of society it was yesterday, which would make that even worse
Ah yes. Why consider funding rehabilitation programs when we could be drastically increasing the punitive aspect of incarceration?

Or its just 1000 years in an empty cell and you come out of it irreversably catatonic or just go brain dead like the jaunt.

Eh, I’m more inclined to believe people would go insane during those 1000 years
Oh, for sure they’d go insane… but, eventually they’d get better. 1000 years is a long time :)
