So what? I assume that most criminals in today's society are unrepentant.

Well, that is clearly not what I advocated above, so I'm not sure why you're
pointing this out to me. They should be employed in the endevor of remedying
the injustice that they casued in their crime. If they are doing all that is
possible to make amends, then that's all you can ask for.

You only force them when needed. After therapy, they will be reasonable and
will seek to remedy their wrong.

Not sure means what? That such an attempt is worthless? Many people have
rehabilitated in prison. Many more would if that was what the prison system
was striving for.
