I am a strong believer in rehabilitation. However, I interpret rehabilitation the opposite to many. Rehabilitation means you only have a minimum sentence. When you can demonstrate rehabilitation, only then should you be released. The parameter for demonstrating rehabilitation can obviously discussed and should suit the triggers of the crime, but I cannot see any scenario where anyone believes that he (or someone like him) should be anywhere near a street.
It's comparable to when the police warn of a dangerous person (or high risk reoffender) being released. This is an oxymoron to a system that believes in rehabilitation.
