There's too much focus put onto rehabilitation these days rather than punishment. People get out in <15 years after committing murder for ****s sake. I'm not saying that people don't deserve a 2nd chance, but as a law abiding member of the general public, I'd rather people were locked up longer and then give them a chance perhaps.
It even happens in schools, I remember at ours - I always did my work, always behaved, and nothing - the kids who acted like twats all the time would get almost bribed to be good, so they were getting more attention, while those of us who were good all along got **** all.
