I don't see where the incentive to rehabilitate is? They're just incentivized to release them ASAP so they spend as little as possible.

Aren't parole boards and the justice system in general involved in the process of releasing people from prison? Its the State that ultimately decides when a prisoner is allowed out.

> They're just incentivized to release them ASAP

And the only way to do that is to show the parole board that a person is worth paroling, e.g. by rehabilitating them.
