One of the enduring verities of criminology is that we don't know how to rehabilitate. We might learn how at some time in the future, but judging by the results of the techniques tried to date, we don't know how today.

If we did know how to rehabilitate -- as determined by results, not good intentions -- it would be callous of us not to do so. But, as we don't, the penal system cannot be forgiven for having scamped its duty to protect the public from predators, in favor of other, quixotic endeavors.

Poverty, crime, deviancy, ignorance, multiculturalism, feminism, etc are Democrat constituancies and political parties do whatever is necessary to retain, nurture, and grow their constituancies.

Number 1 they start on the wrong end of the line to try and rehabilitate these pieces of pond scum. Most of them have records an arm or mile long before they reach adulthood.

Recidivisim This report says 68% return to prison..which BTW is UP from the last recidivisim report in 1983 which said 62%. This is a report on parole & probation

The stats in these 2 reports are good arguments for STRONG support of the 2nd Amendment.

Parole and probation should be ABOLISHED.
