Oh I have a follow up question that you may or may not know the answer to. On rereading, I noticed they used the term "habilitation", not "rehabilitation". Is there significance in this distinction?
I think the idea behind habilitation is that people who've spent most of their lives in the prison system were never properly integrated into society in the first place- rehabilitation implies return to a prior level of fitness that wouldn't apply here.
Ah thanks! This is the kind of think I thought might have been implied by using that term.
I'm not sure, sorry
