It just doesn't make sense in North America - we focus our prison system on retribution and not rehabilitation and then complain when criminal's time runs out and they get released as "high risk".

It'd be ideal to have systems like they do in Europe where if they declare that someone isn't rehabilitated and is a high risk to re-offend they stay in prison until they're deemed worthy to re-enter society. But it's impossible to logically do that when your system is to throw criminals in a concrete cell for years and hope they learned their lesson. Most prisoners that get released aren't rehabilitated.
