      They wont, we have pretty good data that rehabilitation is a rather good way to prevent recidivism. It helps if the society is in general build in a more social way. But sure there are some people who can’t be reintegrated into society and have to be kept in hopefully humane way separated from society, we do the same with extrem forms of mental illness.
