RE: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet on Felon Education and Recidivism
I'm not a fan of using punishment because I don't think it's a good tool for rehabilitation, but for the really dangerous people I'd say the punishment should be the isolation from others for safety reasons.
I agree that punishment isn't a good tool for rehabilitation. All the studies I've seen show that consequences and punishment are vastly different, and only the former is effective at changing behavior.
Identifying the difference can be tricky though.
