Dude, there's a balance here. That's taking the argument and running it straight off the cliff. The data suggests that after the age of 26, men are far less likely to commit violent crimes. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but we should be trying to rehabilitate people when they decide the want to move on. Also, I think Mike is correct. We should be looking to teach these people how to be productive members of society. However, we also need to face reality. There are a significant number that A) aren't going to reform no matter what, and B) lack the intellectual capacity to work almost any job. That's a unique problem. I know how to solve A, not really sure what to do with B.
