Prison was never supposed to be about rehabilitation. It was always supposed to be 1) retribution on behalf of both the aggrieved and society 2) removal of dangerous peoples from society. We ceded our right to revenge to the states in order to prevent escalation and promote order, but we still expect the state to carry out just punishments. Rehabilitation was only ever a tertiary consideration.

The "problem", as always, is that blacks commit way more crime and are then (correctly) subjected to way more punishment. So suddenly - in the eyes of leftists - rehabilitation became the entire purpose of the criminal justice system. Like it's fucking career education or a jobs fair. Endless mercy and empathy for the scum of the earth while victims and their loved ones are ignored. It's inversion bordering on satanic.

Worse still, this is coming from people who do not acknowledge genetically or biologically determined behavior. So they believe that everyone can be rehabilitated, that no one is naturally inclined to violence or crime. Leftist "rehabilitation" is really just a revolving door that maintains and even escalates public risk in order to protect the blank slate lie.
