The jail system needs to be reformed so that when these people come out of jail they have some kind of skill or at least some kind of direction and can get a job and join society instead of just going back to being a criminal.

At the same time, I as a law abiding citizen, shouldn't have to worry about having my shit stolen, my house broken into or getting mugged simply because these people are "victims of society" and don't know any better.
I agree too, that people have the right to live free from crime, but societies with low crime and few people in prison prove that it is possible.
