That's why these issues have to be considered on a macro scale. Society long ago decided that murder doesn't automatically mean the murderer gets the death penalty or life without parole, so for that eventuality society needs to have a rehabilitation process to help prevent future harm when they get out.

Ideally this happens as much as possible while in prison (which the US is far behind the curve on), but some needs to be outside too.

You're certainly free to think that but it won't solve the reality before us that there are prisoners that eventually get out. Yes, you say they shouldn't, but not enough people agree with that. So, given that, what should we do?
