Not letting him out would have prevented it too

Stock answer: It's pretty well proven by data that people like him are made, not born. It doesn't excuse his crimes, but it's a pretty obvious thing that his behavior shows he doesn't know any other way to be. I mean you could know more than I do about criminal reform. I only have 12 years spent as a case manager and support worker for homeless people, addicts, and Job Corps enrollees.

You already mentioned that in the thread. Stopping him at year 10 forever prevents years 20-30 of criminal behavior in public.

Incarceration is very expensive. I guess we could all lobby to raise taxes and fund the extra prisons or we could pay significantly less to create a better system which reduces problem behavior and, conversely, recidivism.

Apparently I haven't mentioned that enough, since a bunch of people with no real experience dealing with these issues on a professional level keep armchair quarterbacking the issue.

Is it really arm chairing if you are consistent in your belief that people that show they can't be trusted in society should remain out of society?
