If you agree to the conceit that a system of justice is about rehabilitation, then someone needs to sit next to, work next to, live next to a person who committed a "serious, violent crime" that sent them to prison for 13 years.

An argument could be made that the justice system should be about rehabilitation but in its current state can't be expected to provide that. I'm not sure I'd make it, but I could see that perspective.
