    It would be nice if we could rehabilitate with intensive therapy so they don’t come out worse.

      It would be, yes; but this is America and we seem to have a permanent hard-on for punishment over rehabilitation, and it’s also a lot easier to make punishment profitable. remember, kids, slavery is still legal in the good ole “land of the free”, if you’re in prison – and several companies and their shareholders get inordinately rich off it. Hooray for profits derived from human suffering with no other benefit to society! Freedom! Justice! Capitalism! God, this place is hell.
