Well, of course. It depends on the person. I really don't think most people would become bitter and hard after that though. I think most people would come out of it relieved that it's finally over and wanting to take extra caution not to end up in that situation again. Of course, it's not foolproof, but people are people regardless, and those who would be embittered by that would be embittered by any sort of punishment.
That aside, it will still serve the other main purpose, and that is as punishment for the crime committed.
