Do you even know why people are being let out on parole early in the first place? It's because we've been tougher on crime than any other wealthy nation in the world for the last 50 years, and now we have more prisoners than prison space.
I don't care about them being rehabilitated. I care about keeping dangerous criminals off the streets.
The best way to keep dangerous criminals off the street is to rehabilitate the criminals....... Or better yet, remove the economic environmental conditions that drive people to crime in the first place.

If your idea of "justice" worked America would already be the safest place on earth. Despite America only making up around 4% of the population we house 20% of the global prison population . If you're ideology actually made us safe, don't you think it would have worked by now?
Which "economic environmental conditions" lead to rape?
Social instability, economic instability, lack of mental and physical healthcare, and a historic lack of agency for women.
