Almost all criminals re-offend once they get out.
Prison is first of all a punishment. Second it is supposed to work as a reason not to commit crime. An while in prison they are not able to be a threat to people outside prison. All of that works.
I am not sure about the rehabilitation. I do not believe in forcing or helping people to change their behavior. I think change must come from within.
I mean that some should never get out again and I also believe in death penalty.
@EvolLove @nanook @ScoWer22 If it were up to me, the state would have one chance to carry out a death sentence. If they screw it up, and the person doesn't die, then his sentence is commuted to life without parole.

You two remind me of 2nd year law criminal law and procedure classes with Professor Bryden, a conservative who hated recidivism (repeat offenders). Damn, NAS are smarter than the average bear and beat yogi and boo boo to the honey while outsmarting ranger smith.
