Let me help you out.  Property crimes have the largest rate of recidivism.

Crimes done for economic benefit are done so because... well economic benefit.  So if you beat someone up for their money... you have good incentive to do so again.

If you beat someone up because they are a different race for fun... and you go to jail for a while.

What is your benefit to do so again?

Racists aren't mentally ill or anything... (well some are)

They beat people up of another race by actual choice.  Not compulsion or need.

Therefore rcidivism SHOULD be lower then people of compulsion (crazy) or need (poor).

Doesn't this make the ma bigger threat to society? They're not crazy (and crazy people should be sent to mental institutions, not prison), nor are they doing it out of need (and there could be programs who could help them to get a job and live an honest living). How exactly can you "fix" a racist/homophobe, so the he can ever be released back into society?

Short answer?  You don't need to fix them.

Reason why?  They're (racism aside) logical beings.

Why did the racist people beat up that black guy?

Probably because they could get away with it and thought it would be fun.

Well ok.  They got caught, and went to jail for a few years.

What are the chances they are going to beat up a black person again?

Pretty much none because they know they can be caught. 

The actual length of the punishment doesn't matter so long as it's a the risk far outweighs the reward of the slight rush of beating someone up.  In fact increased punishment may be worse, because their economic situation might get worse while in jail.

 

Either that or because they have an anger disorder.  In which case... the anger disorder is the real problem and it's not going to be directed just at people of a certain race.
