Okay I laughed out loud to the irony of that ending, it's the irony of 'rehabilitation'
You can rehabilitate over 'material crimes' (robbery , theft, fraud, con man etc) because if you provide practical education and ways to acquire gainful employment to attain things at nearly the same rate and none of the risk, most will take it if their crime was just for material gain.
Behaviour is a completely different thing, if they have linked pleasure with their crimes (rape, assault, murder, torture etc) they are an extreme danger to society and need to be isolated from it. Unless you want to actually allow behavioural conditioning and essentially breaking down their mental structure to reshape it (something illegal for obvious reasons) long prison sentences, being on a list and tagged or depending on severity of crime even death penalty may be only way to ensure not to create new victims.
