      Agreed. I wish the USA had this point of view, but instead we do view it as an oubliette to put people we dont like / are too poor

      Yes, but mercy and rehabilitation should not come at the expense of the innocent.

      Plus, when I think rehabilitating people in jail, I’m thinking of nonviolent offenses. Premeditated murder isn’t on my list of crimes I think someone can come back from, not when it’s like this.

          Someone in prison getting the help and rehabilitation they need are not a threat to “the innocent”

          Well yes, that’s my point. They’re in prison. They should have access to rehabilitation and high quality psychiatric care.

      Prison helps keep people safe, create deterrent, prevents vigilantism. Rehabilitation is the humane thing to do, but it is not why we isolate criminals.
