The longer the sentence, the more time can be spent working with people. At the federal level, there's a lot of time. There are programs available in prison, as well as follow-up. There are lots of mental health challenges to deal with. My colleagues also spoke at length about the fact that many offenders were previously victimized, so it's just as important to work on their traumas. That can be done in prison, but there has to be enough time to do it.
