@EvolLove @ScoWer22 This is unfortunately true 82% of the time, but then there are the 18% that don't. I think the fundamental issue is that prison doesn't address the root cause of criminal behavior, the perceived inability to meet some life need in a non-criminal manner. Training in life skills to allow people to achieve this would probably greatly reduce the recidivism rate.

Prison is first of all a punishment. Second it is supposed to work as a reason not to commit crime. An while in prison they are not able to be a threat to people outside prison. All of that works.

I am not sure about the rehabilitation. I do not believe in forcing or helping people to change their behavior. I think change must come from within.

I mean that some should never get out again and I also believe in death penalty.
