By branding them criminals for life you just keep them being criminals. What are they supposed to do for a living if they can't get a job, if the entire society thinks they're bad?
In the U.S. if you have a felony it's very hard for you to get a job. You can get a felony just from stealing a T.V. or something.
Since I deal with criminality in my profession, I know I understand. From your posts, I see that you do not understand and 'that' is not okay, as it will lead you down a wrong path sooner or later.
Actually, where I live, has just as high or a higher incarceration rate than the USA.
People of course can change, this is what I do in my profession, facilitate change from criminal thinking and criminality to non-criminal thinking and non-criminality...but they have to want to for the programming/counselling to effect the greatest change.
