No I missed nothing. many people in prison do not want to be reformed. They have told me they like what they do. Also, many get sent back to prison over and over and the filthy criminal loving pols let them out again and again.The only flaw in your post is that many don't want to rehabed.Some form of rehabilitation would seem in order, so those when released would have some education, skill, or coping ability. as apposed to being released with felony conviction making it even less likely to get a job or reconnect with society.
I work trying to get people who are down and out and get a lot of feedback.
Once a person goes to prison, they come out with a criminal record and, if anything, the system makes them worse. For every drug addict in a rehabilitation program, there are more than TEN drug addicts in prison. So, people do a stint in prison and get locked out of society on account of "background checks" that are absolutely useless in a real society. Instead of people doing things the old fashioned way (like calling former employers and personal references) we're content to rely on a corrupt government for a person's record.
We have generations of dependents. In prison a person gets three hots and a cot, plenty of people to socialize with, and they don't have to think.
A good form of rehabilitation would be to give people long sentences and then let them EARN an early release. If prisoners were forced to get a GED and job training skills in order to get an early release, they would become better citizens. They would be more likely to assimilate into society if they got drug rehabilitation and life skills courses while there. Prison should not be a place to learn how to become a better criminal while pissing your life away.
If a person gets put into prison, they should be there to be punished and to be rehabilitated. Then the should be returned back to society with their Rights restored and a the chance to return as equals. Without that, prison will always be a revolving door.
I guess you missed the part about long sentences. If they want to piss away a decade when they could be free in two and half years on a ten year stint - well, to each his own.
Additionally, recidivists would have to serve maximum sentences.
The pols are elected by we, the people... and WE could draft our own legislation to stop the B.S,.
