Rehabilitation is a laudable goal...

...but, like everything else, the leftists mess it up: "Arkansas Dem Senate Candidate Called To 'Redirect' Taxpayer Funds Away From 'Punishment' in 'Equitable Fashion'.

Even in the hands of non-partisan professionals, rehabilitation can backfire.

  1. I don’t think of incarceration as punishment so much as keeping the people who like to commit crimes away from all of us who don’t commit crimes. Rehabilitation only works in those few who actually want to be rehabilitated.

    1. I agree that the main reason for incarceration is to separate the evil-doers from the rest of us. Maybe they get rehabilitated, maybe they don't, but jailing them at least isolates the threat.
