I'll give my opinion first.

After watching the programme I was a little shocked at the ease of the rehabilitation programme. He spent a year in a fully catered, nice-looking "hotel" kind of building, only a few times a week did he have to have counseling sessions etc. Also, whilst he was in the centre - he mixed with others who were in there for the same kind of crimes as he did - surely this would just provide a "network" of some kind, right?

Personally, I think the woman may have been subconsciously acting out of selfishness. She wanted her husband back, and didn't consider the damage it was doing to her daughter in the long run. I would've hated to think that that man now has access to his daughter - the thing he fantasises and relapses about.

Rehabilitation can work, but is it really worth the risk? It acknowledges that it doesn't cure the urge, but stifles it - surely this is too much of a risk to trust many with? The percentage of re-offence for such crimes is very high - despite rehabilitation. Would we really want to risk children to see if it works?

The man in the docu-drama was only in jail for a year or so before being allowed "back out" into the public. He'd already repeatedly abused her - what would now stop him doing it in the future?
