What's everyone's opinion on those who believe they should stay in prison? Who believe that society is safer with them on the inside? I know there are several pedophiles (Who I distinguish from pederasts) who have expressed this sort of sentiment, and were allowed to remain incarcerated.

If a consul agrees with the inmate that they would be better off inside a prison, then I'm all for it. I'm sure there are those who would be alright in society, but can't wrap their heads around it while in prison. I would definitely let the inmates' opinions weigh more heavily than the consuls', though.

I don't think many people would want to leave prison if you gave them that option. There's a lot of anxiety for the inmate when leaving their oh-so familiar environment. Here's where I've derived parts of my opinions.
