"prison has never been about rehabilitation"
there are many countries that do use prison as rehab and their quality of life indexes are so much better than ours. i would do anything to move to norway where they have so little crime they are actually closing prisons, instead of packing them so full of people they legally have to let some out, like in cali. the fact that prisons are a private industry leads to so many bullshit convictions and idiotic laws, which gives us one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
and why would you give this guy what he wants? he wants to be killed, so why would you give him that? lock him up for his time and he'll get whats coming to him
