Rehabilitation has been shown to be more effective than punitive deterrence though.


Absolutely, totally agree. Prison should only be used when someone absolutely must be removed from society in order to keep the rest of the population safe; I think many people currently in prison should be in some sort of rehabilitation program instead.


Rehabilitation still includes removing offenders from society till they're fixed.
