this isn’t an abstract discussion about incarceration and whether
that’s an appropriate institution for human beings, recidivism ought to
be a legitimate concern. I think that’s a pretty conservative
remark, really. You don’t even have to acknowledge sympathy for the
“perp” if you don’t like to, but it seems that if one is
concerned with further crimes against property or persons – being blinded
for life, if you like – then rehabilitation and opportunities for
convicted criminals ought to be considered.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Centro, it seemed like his proposal was pretty straightforward, nothing to do
with taking him into his home. He simply asked, how good should we feel
when a possibly “repeat offender” is taken off the street (for a
period of time) without any avenues toward rehabilitation. Even without
supposing that it was for a drug habit, there are little to no opportunities or
training for job training. As Paul mentioned, the person is going to face
serious CORI problems with employers (and this would be true even if he was
acquitted), though that issue has been gaining greater attention recently.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
