        We can and should, but through the prison system. I don’t see why we can’t help people become better citizens instead of better criminals if we’re locking them up and paying for it anyway.

          You’re right. I should have worded my response better. I meant if he is walking around free, he should be responsible for it, not the tax payer (unless that’s a tax-funded service that is available for everyone). If he’s incarcerated we not only have opportunity, we have a duty to try.
