I've read of plenty of cases of people turning their lives around in prison. Whether or not that was purely a function of the buried good sense they had managed to pick up in earlier years or partly due to some program or good counselor is hard to say.
MSNBC has a show they run now and then about groups of prisoners (only seen it involving male prisoners so far) meeting in groups where they confess what they've done and attempt to work up an understanding of their culpability in their misfortune. Looks pretty real to me and I'm betting it has better outcomes than merely ringing a bell when it's time to eat.
Rehab is not good now, it's true. Should we instead run in the opposite direction?
