> what about people who are "rehabilitated" only to immediately commit the same crime? repeat offenders happen more in the usa than nearly any other developed country, why do you think that is? our prison system is set up to produce more criminals, and this is tied to the horrid conditions we force prisoners to live in. > what about crimes deemed beyond rehabilitation such as crimes against children (not 17 year but think more 2 or 3)? even the most heinous of criminals should be afforded the opportunity to change their life > should there be institutions returned for those unable to exist in our society  try again this isn't english   we're paying for prisoners to exist either way, it would be siginfifacntly better for all of us if they could contribute in some way to offset the cost   the judicial system fucks up, in a system where criminals are simply killed many innocents would die as well.
