We've executed lots of people over the years, we still have murders. We either need to change our crime/prison system so that it can bring people back into mainstream society, or just kill everyone in there because there are way too many of them.

Hahahahahahha ahhh jezz...but seriously, rehabilitation is the least important of the four main purposes of the justic system in the view of the general public. I think it's getting more worse now as private prisons are replacing public institutions. These corporations are making money off human bodies, while taxpayers are happy they are paying less (or will be) for the prison system in the united states.
One of my profs suggested that now is a really good time to invest in these private firms (e.g. Wackenhut), especially because crime rates rise in lower economic periods.
