Following Fariska's post... I also agree that rehabilitation is a vital part of any justice system and the opportunity for an individual to improve their personal standards should be made available to all common criminals. I am all for that.
Uncommon criminals however, the kind of people who have made it into adulthood, have sufficient mental capacity to be able to secure a home and to live independently, to feed themselves and to negotiate life, but who also brutalise their own babies, with wilful and malicious acts of violence that leave an 18month old with a tooth punched down its throat and a broken back - to pick just two very graphic examples out of the 18 months of consistent physical mental and sexual abuse, torture and neglect that the baby suffered - well, those kind of uncommon criminals should not be given the opportunity to be rehabilitated. In my view they have forfeited their human rights and rehabilitation is not a luxury the taxpayer should be expected to fund.
