Talk to anyone involved in the criminal justice system who is truly objective and they'll tell you what an abject failure rehab is - it's a standing gag that prison is a revolving door. Not that the idea doesn't have merit, and the folks conducting it aren't well-meaning/intentioned, just we do not know how to be really successful at meaningful/lasting rehab/change yet. Meanwhile, we fail to protect society from sick individuals prone to violence. A huge and complex subject deserving of a thread all on its own.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
