I may have been unclear...I don't equate Death Row with prison (and prison's need for rehab). I also have no problem with punishment, but since most of the people in prison will be eventually released, it would benefit us all to instill some behavior modifications, via negative reinforcement, or rehab, or a combo, whatever works.

This is true, and inescapable.
