I think this is naive and gullible. This person needs and deserves a rehabilitation attempt, which he's very unlikely to get in prison. The psychopathology of someone who doesn't merely threaten you with death, but an explicitly named loved one, is a very dangerous, damaged, malicious person. Merely being found guilty and in prison does not at all ensure this person accepts responsibility for what they did or that it's wrong. What someone does while they're being watched isn't a good judgement of their character. What matters more is how they behave when they're not being watched.
