too many people get out without rehabilitation

The purpose of prison is not to rehabilitate, but to punish. It is the responsibility of the individual to rehabilitate themselves. If they need help with that, they can get it. All they have to do is ask.

To try to turn prisons into rehabs would be silly. You cannot rehabilitate someone unless they WANT to be rehabilitated.

that’s my point. what’s the purpose of releasing them back into society if they haven’t rehabilitated?
if they aren’t changed, they run high risk of becomming a repeat offender and are a hazard to law abiding people.
