you may be right will, but how much time will it take to fix that bulk of people with the criminal mindset? you're talking about trying to undo years of failed parenting, etc. I dont think its logistically practical.
and if a criminal does show normalcy when he is "rehabilitated", how many more times does he have to get out of the system and hurt someone before we give him the axe?
I dont really see the excecution of those who harm others as "killing". some cars arent worth fixing, and they go to the scrap yard...some pets are too violent to have around kids, or become physically ill enough to warrant being euthanized...its just good business.
hell, turn them into organ donors for all I care....thats one way to make them give back to society what they can never hope to repay.
