Rehabilitation. We need to help people understand why they're constantly angry and impulsive, it can not be beaten out of them. For some people this can take a lifetime of mental health counseling.

I've seen irate voters at town meetings upset that tax dollars were being using to pay for books and tutoring for inmates, let alone mental health counseling. As a country the US is incredibly far off from the mindset of prisoner rehabilitation. We treat prisoners like animals, and for some reason are surprised when they keep acting like animals.
