Yeah... it's annoying.  In general I think that's the way it is everywhere though.  From what I can find anway.  The Recidivism rates seem pretty standard.  In your new home the recidivism rate is apparenty 75% in the provincial system.  Unsure of federal.

A harder stat to find out then you'd think tooFor some reason Canada doesn't like to look at that kind of thing.

It doesn't help that... well prisons are hellholes where if anything criminal, racism and anti-social behavior are actually reinforced.

It also shows how dumb drug laws are.

In general, NOBODY is doing prison right.

This is another one of those cases where I wish I was a Miracle Man-esque benevolent dictator.

Even then it'd probably involve a decent level of expiermentation.

I'd imagine you'd need to focus on why they committed the acts they did.

Which you aren't going to be able to do if you are giving people different penalties based on motivation.

Otherwise everyone will just claim the "better" motives even if those aren't the case.

It's probably best that everyone who commits the same crime gets the same time in jail, and then is released when rehabilitated.
