    Agreed, and prison should be for rehabilitation.

    Perhaps prisoners could be released in one of two states: completed time or rehabilitated. The latter carries a much lower chance of recidivism. Maybe the first iffense could be hidden regardless, and expunged entirely after some period of time (10 years?), whereas on the second offense, both are searchable.

    IDK, but I do believe in forgiveness.

      I think a lot about the Scandinavian prison where the guards forgot to lock the cells and the inmates used the night to do some baking.
