There are attempts made to rehabilitate. My mom has taught in several prisons, and teaches them all kinds of things - from ABC's to history. It's just that on average, they just consider this "the price of doing business". It's not a deterrent. What do they always say about addicts and going to rehab centers? It won't work unless the person is dedicated to changing their lives. It's the same for prisoners - they are just hanging out, getting their 3 squares a day, and will go back to doing the same shit all over again. Because they don't want to change.
However, if prison wasn't so easy, perhaps they'd be less eager.
