Putting someone in jail doesn't take them out of the system.

I'm guessing you meant it takes them out of the loop. But if he does live 30 years and gets out he will commit another crime because he knows nothing else. So maybe longer jail sentences aren't the magical answer. Maybe rehabilitation techniques should be tried.

And if he commits another gun crime he goes back in for 50, thus spending his entire life in prison. You can't rehabilitate people that want to use violence as a means of intimidation and getting what they want. You can't just say "whoa is them" every time they commit an armed robbery or breaking and entering. I'm as empathetic as the next guy, but some of these guys don't even deserve empathy.
