I saw a man speaking who worked at an enclosed unit for people who had commited severe crime. It is for those who are considered to have diminished responsibility due to mental illness during the crime-event.
He believed in the "second chance" policy for all. But what is meant by "second chance" in our society? We have jail time and compulsory-treatment time. And in the end-if the experts and Judge decide the person may come free into society.
Does "second chance" in terms of jail/treatment release mean that society gives you a second chance?
Does "second chance" in terms of jail/treatment release mean that you can give yourself a second chance?
Is there actually such thing as "second chance" after sever-crime?
