    Lots of/most/almost all prisoners are rehabilitated though?

    We only hear about the very small minority that make attention grabbing headlines.

    I’m in Europe BTW.

      Not really. Look up the life of car thiefs. Most gain inside knowledge after leaving prison with fresh connections.

      Prisons are almost like a networking opportunity. Mark Cann made an interesting video about it.

          I’m too stupid to have the right answer. I can just make noise and hope someone smarter comes up with better solutions.
