I don't really have much faith in rehabilitation of criminals. Human nature is to stay within their comfort zone. We tend to stay with the behavior that we are used to and the life that we know best. The only thing that makes the difference is motivation. I think using prison as a deterrent is probably the best way of motivating criminals to change their behavior and the best route to rehabilitaion. I believe that we should also give rehabilitation a try but the "cooshy" lifestyle that criminals lead doesn't deter them much from crime. Television, exercise, and other things won't help to deter them. A VERY Simple boring lifestyle with ONLY the bare necessities is the route I personally believe would be more effective.
