I think what GP was suggesting was that this person might have a chance to redeem themselves if they were surrounded by, and came to respect, people like you're describing. Do you think that's ever possible?

It's more likely in that environment than in prison, but I also kind of agree with GP, why do the people doing the right thing get saddled with remmediation duty on top of doing something they may even be volunteering to do? Asking a bit too much of good natured people I feel.
