We cannot go backwards to those times, or follow the harsh regime of other nations.
A graduated response via ongoing assessments would determine who is mad, bad or dangerous to know,and what measures need to be but in place to minimise the risk of re-offending...
I guess you could call this rehabilitation, but the difference is I don't believe it is a viable option for all.
Resources should be pooled into those who have the greatest chance of 'going straight'
(as in criminality not sexuality)

Whilst I understand exactly what you mean, and I so wish it was workable: the amount of rehabiliation that goes on in our prisons currently: (Jon Venables as an example and there are many others too) - I don't see it being as effective as we would hope and wish it to be.
