Does that make them undeserving of rehabilitation and reintroduction into society? There's surely a broader discussion to be had about conditions contributing to acts of crime besides the person arbitrarily choosing to do them, and whether prison is an actual deterrent to crime, but even if we assume all crimes are simply a matter of choice, does that make my first question less pertinent?
