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.
Prison helps keep people safe, create deterrent, prevents vigilantism. Rehabilitation is the humane thing to do, but it is not why we isolate criminals.
Prison should not be an oubliette to put people we don’t like. It should be about rehabilitation and bettering those who have commit crimes.
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.

Someone in prison getting the help and rehabilitation they need are not a threat to “the innocent”
Look, if all you want is blood, just say it (you more or less already did). And then think about what that means about you
Well yes, that’s my point. They’re in prison. They should have access to rehabilitation and high quality psychiatric care.
