Which one should we focus on more in our criminal justice system? Basically, which one would serve as a satisfactory/fitting punishment for prisoners?

Edit: Oops, and if someone can fix the misspelling in my topic title, I'd appreciate it, thanks. REHABILITATION: Jailtime is supposed to be about rehabilitation. What is the point of jailing someone for committing a crime without rehabilitating them? How are they supposed to survive when they get out? How is the victim's family supposed to feel when this criminal finishes his/her sentence or is paroled? Jail is nothing without rehabilitation. I can't say for sure because my family has never been the victim of any crime (knock on wood), but I would prefer to know that someone has been reformed after they've served a jail sentence because retribution is temporary but rehabilitation lasts a lifetime. |

Well, if that is the case, why not just get rid of the jail time all together. Jail does not equal rehabilitation. If it were all about rehabilitation we could do it without putting criminals behind bars. |
