God forbid we actually rehabilitate people instead of profiting off of their enslavement and not actually giving a shit if they get better or not.

Paraphrasing a Scandinavian who gave an interview I once saw in a TV documentary about the correction system in some nordic country:

Once that perpetrator gets out of prison and rents an apartment next to you, would you rather he was subject to inhumane punishment? Or would you rather he was treated like a human being and learned how to behave in society?

Heh, the amerikkkan answer is simple: don't let them rent next to you. They've accomplished it by ridiculous rent prices, charging inmates to be in jail (so they come out with debt), and shackling them to low paying jobs.
