While I am all for prison reform, that is not the issue here. Even countries with prison systems that aren’t some of the most horrifying places on earth have to deal with escape attempts. It is human nature to not want to be caged.

Also: Even if we actually cared at all about rehabilitation, this was a violent killer who stabbed a woman to death in front of her children. He is not rehabilitated right now and would still be a threat to society whether he was receiving help or not.
