Our Prison System Works Afterall
Well, not exactly.
As someone who toiled in that line of work for many years, I have often said about rehabilitation, "You can't rehabilitate someone who has never been habilitated to begin with."
Think about that for just a minute, please.
You can send an electrician to a refresher course to give him new technology that has emerged since he got his ticket. BUT, you can't send some guy off the street with no electrical knowledge to a refresher course.
Got it now?
Society keeps sending criminals to prison with the hope they will rehabilitate themselves - good luck! It ain't gonna happen.
Here's a story about a Sikh who was pissed with one of the boyz at his temple so he took his gun into a courtroom and blew him away. His lawyer says he's rehabilitated and we ought to spring him from prison.
Don't get me started on the Sikh religion, just read the damn story:
A gun-wielding man who opened fire in a Toronto courtroom 25 years ago — killing two men and putting a third in a wheelchair — was in court Tuesday to plead for early parole.
Kuldip Singh Samra based his appeal on the so-called Faint Hope clause, which allows convicted killers to petition the parole board after 15 years if their request is approved by a jury.
Defence lawyer Daniel Scully argued Tuesday that Samra, 59, has changed since his incarceration, becoming a model inmate who takes self-improvement programs and earned kudos for his work at the prison’s organic farm.
