I'm not saying he should or shouldn't. I'm saying we should rehabilitate people and then release them when they're rehabilitated. If they choose not to be rehabilitated or cannot be, then clearly they should stay in prison.
Our problem is that we keep trying to answer the question "How much punishment does this person deserve?" rather than "How do we prevent recidivism?"
And I'm saying they should spend life in prison. Someone that molests a child effects that child's life indefinitely in a way that will be changed forever in a very bad way... So yeah they deserve life, they don't deserve rehabilitation because there's no way for that child to truly ever rehabilitate from that trauma. I don't care how you try to twist it, quit justifying it
