@thinkharder So you are telling us if we had put this PODS into a social program he would learn how to be a responsible citizen ?
Can you please share with me some countries in which this progressive thinking is used and the statistics that show criminal activity has reduced ?

@AldinaI You have to remember that this is not about ONE offender. By inference, you suggest that we have to jail ALL such people indefinitely. We cannot do so, as I've explained. However, early intervention and social justice can work, and saves more potential victims from harm than does spending the money on prisons. By the way, I'm hardly a bleeding heart. I was a police officer for 31 years before retiring. When I was a police officer, while I was working with victims and offenders daily, I studied criminal justice at university. Experience, and the centuries-old study of crime and criminality by professionals all over the earth, lead progressive nations to look beyond prison to solve these problems. I'm sorry if they offend "common sense", but those incarceration/crime rates tell the tale.
