Yeah, we've spent tons of money keeping him locked up, which is way more expensive than in most other countries. I say we just off him be done with him.Yeah, I know. The question is: is the rehabilitation possible in all cases? And what is the risk if it won't work?

PS. According to different sources the re-offending rate here is 40-50%. That's rather high I think.
Rehabilitation is not possible in all cases, hence why I support death penalty. Also your country is doing it wrong, as we have luxury prisons and a re-offending rate of 20%.
