A therapy centre is certainly better than prison. In prison, abusers are there with other violent men. They collude with one another. The whole time they are there, their brain is working overtime, thinking about where we are, the people we're with and what we're doing. When they get out, they are even more violent
If instead of sending abusers to prison, they were first sent to a centre for three months of intensive therapy, their anger would decrease. There would be conversations, they'd be given resources that would certainly calm them down. Prison does nothing but increase violence. That's always been the case.
