> Rehabilitation is not the sole or even primary goal of incarceration. Nor should it be.
I don't understand this perspective at all. "We shouldn't punish them after they've served their time, but let's make sure they don't leave with any new job prospects either."
Of course it's not the primary goal. The primary goal is to remove people from society so they cannot continue to inflict harm on others.
