> I guarantee that if you give every prisoner or delinquent to do what he likes or a normal job, he will be like the rest of us, a completely normal person. Bad government and lack of smart strategy and vision makes criminals, nothing more.

That's a very strong statement.

Certainly there are a lot of people that fall into gangs, etc because they have no other alternatives. But rapists don't rape because their day job is boring. Serial killers aren't in it for the money, either. Don't be naive.

Of course, I think every disease should be treated at the root. Maybe the father of the serial killer had a boring or inhumane job or they didn’t have enough money to send him to fancy college and projected all his frustrations on the children and the family and that child has the potential to become very dangerous to society. I agree not everyone would recover but a good percentage.
