Would there be a social reintegration program for people who have been in prison for a while?

Yeah. I have a bunch of thoughts about prisons/prisoners, including reintegration. Probably will post an essay on it later this summer.

The idea of punishment is incompatible with the idea of justice. There are three parties:

a) justice is served to the wrongdoer by redress

b) justice is served to a victim by restitution

c) justice is served to society by rehabilitation

There is no room for retribution or revenge in justice.

In any case, justice is typically impossible, which is why fairness, before harm is done, is necessary and justice is insufficient.

Due Process, in practice is identical to "any process". The legalism of it has overridden the purpose of it. Checks and balances and fairness are not ensured by due process.
