The US injustice system is not designed for rehabilitation. It is designed to make ex-cons fail, and fail again.

The lie about the US criminal injustic system is "do the crime, do the time, and then you get the slate wiped clean".

It's "fuck up once, for any reason, get caught then you do the time, and then when your sentence is over we're going to keep niggling you, riding you, making your life difficult in a thousand ways, hitting you with petty restrictions and expensive and unnecessary checks with you have to pay for, until you fail something or snap. Then its back to prison again, where you get to work for $2 a day to make profit for our buddies."

(Of course this only applies to the Little People.)

It is 100% a scam.

Part of this is the Christian cultural influence where they would just want people to repent forever. It's also a bit of the simplistic "eye for an eye" revenge based justice system which doesn't solve anything aside from getting the plebs worked up into mob justice.

Honestly, it's not even just a Christian cultural influence, because the way the ex-con life goes is actually more out of the modern, more cancel culture influence of "the very worst moment of your life is who you are in the dark. It's all that you are, and more importantly, it's all that you ever WILL BE. There is no repenting and no changing, you will always be no better than this, and you should always be punished for this until the day you die- hopefully not by your own hand solely so we get to keep enjoying making you hurt- and the whole world can flood your area by everyone pissing on your grave."
