> "concern of reoffending is rarely if ever given much actual consideration"

Complete bullshit. Concern for somebody reoffending is a major factor in sentencing and in the public's support for the continued existence of the prison system. Examples of sentencing that follow from other principles do not contradict this.



The US prison system is demonstrably awful at reducing reoffending.
