I'd say that in the UK at least, the ongoing problems with radicalisation not being addressed in prisons is just one area where rehabilitation of offenders is seriously lacking. Look at our recidivism rates compared to Norway, then compare and contrast the level of staffing, training, salaries, inmate to staff ratios, availability of education, vocational training etc etc. Norway decided to invest in their prison population and what do you know? Actually spending to implement good practice works...whodathunk it. They actually aim to release people you wouldn't mind being your neighbour, trained, employable, if not already employed etc rather than people essentially crippled from gaining worthwhile employment and expecting those people to be model citizens.
