Beyond a certain point, when someone just doesn’t want to change, the best you can do is to keep them from hurting innocent people.

Yes, I understand that. My issue is with what seems to be our best solution, which is to consign these people to essentially torture. If they are truly incapable of learning any better, there's no point in doing anything to them except keep them from harming others, yet we get off on making them suffer.

People like you are why teachers end up getting assaulted.

Go fuck yourself.

And what is your solution, oh wise sage? Some people don't want to be helped. There is no program or intervention you can do to reach these people. Again, at some point the best you can do is put the needs of the many over the needs of the few and keep the psychopaths from hurting innocent people.
