- ChrisNorstrom 13y agoSomeone who rapes your wife and stabs her is no longer a person but a primitive animal. A man who has reverted to a baboon and devolved. Grouping everyone together sounds nice and mushy and makes you look like a good hearted person but is unrealistic.

- vacri 13y agoGrouping everyone together You just implied that all inmates are rapists and stabbers. Herein lies the problem of the anti-rehabilitation crowd: they argue against rehabilitating prisoners using the worst examples they can find, ignoring that most prisoners don't fit their description.
