There are cases in which this is simply impossible. Psychopaths, for example.

Wharehousing crimminals seems to be the only effective fuction of prisons. Rehabilitation is an abject failure, deterrence is very limited. Locking up crimminals for longs periods has been what has worked in the USA. In most cases, when the criminals get out they are commiting more crimes. The biggest factor is decreasing crimes rates in the USA has been increasing sentences.

One of the nicknames for prison here is "the college" i.e. college of crime.

That's why judges try very hard here to keep people out of jail, especially young people.

Jails should be about rehabilitation. We don't want people to come out worse crims than they went in.
