some people are psychos and cannot be rehabilitated
most people can be rehabilitated
real talk, I think the main reason why rehabilitation isn't appealing to people is not because it can't work, but because people feel it isn't right to let someone eventually walk free after they do something heinous. vengeance is more important than redemption to most people
Its not about vengeance, its about keeping things tidy. Criminals certainly shouldnt go free until theyve undone the damage they did to their victim at the minimum. Is their anything wrong with that outlook?
