Quote:Put them somewhere they can learn not to infringe on someone's right, teach them, help them, treat them, then help them get back into society when and where they can.
I think this would be the ideal for every criminal, just don't know how realistic it would be.
Mainly because, unlike you, I believe with a few exceptions that people choose their actions. If a man (who is mentally sane) chose to rape a girl, I believe he chose it freely... probably because he likes to dominate and felt horny and wanted to do it, and in his selfishness, put that ahead of the girl's rights. There is nothing he needed to be treated for, and nothing he needed to be taught, imho.
But yes, if there was a way to truly change these people and put them safely back in society, that would be ideal. I just don't think there is. It's mainly a matter of hoping they learn their lessen or just grow out of their ways before releasing them again.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
