All of that costs money. I don't want to spend resources on the human of equivalent of pets.
I would rather donate 40 grand / year to a children's school than spend it housing a degenerate who has already exposed himself as an extreme risk to society.
Let me just lay this out how I think of it and see if you can find the logic in it:
A 25 year old rapist brutalizes someone and is convicted - with the goal of rehabilitation;
He sits in a cell (ideally for 10 years - as he should;)
He is released at 35 years of age - now much older and decrepit than he was before, likely to reoffend; but even he did not reoffend, he is now old.
We have just paid 400,000 dollars to provide room and board to an aging monster who will very likely do it again - instead of giving those resources to someone more valuable; someone morally just and in need, who could have become a doctor or started a business. Does this make sense to you?
Using this logic, we shouldn't give anyone a public education who has an IQ below 115.
