    Hans credits his improved social and communication skills learned in prison among other details shared in the public letters.

    I thought prisons were meant to cause more trauma and help ensure people never leave so as to increase profits?

      Some prisons might be better than others, some people might be able to withstand the system within and work on themselves.

      Yes, most people experience prison in the way you described. There’s always exceptions, and like someone else said it’s in California. Not a left wing state but the closest you’ll get in the US.

      If the system was so great at rehabilitation the reoffender rate wouldn’t be so insane.

      He is locked in California, a fairly progressive and leftist state i think , I am not entirely certain all that therapy is a good thing, i think i watched a documentary saying that psychopaths only learn from therapy how to be better manipulators and i feel like he sounds like psychopath even now.

      With that said if he gets out of prison i think he should be allowed to participate in FOSS (when someone reviews his contributions), i can’t help but wonder if his reportedly unhinged behavior on the kernel mailing list was handled better (e.g. mandating he will go to therapy) the murder would not have happened.
