Activists demand tougher sentences for rapists...Oh really now......

http://www.tribune242.com/news/2012/jun/28/activists-demand-tougher-sentences-for-rapists/?c=3878
I was referred to this article from a friend and I found it interesting here's what I said.

This is the problem in our country, instead of being proactive we are being reactive which isn't the correct approach. Giving a longer sentence won't change their minds to commit rape, they aren't in a sane mindset to begin with, they're just looking for that instant gratification. 15 - life compared to 60 - life is no difference to criminals to them its do or die. Prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation not a money pit to waste for criminals who are probably never going to change because we do nothing to help them. I understand there's an outrage on the raping spree but where did we go wrong? We should pursue to fix the source not try to give harsher punishments to people who don't even care about other people, if they don't care for other people why would they care about themselves? Lack of empathy are signs of a sociopath. We have to tackle it at the source
