I get what you are saying, but we allready have a prison system focusing on rehabilitation, and it doesn’t phase the gangs.

you'll never stop the gangs; but you can make it more difficult to operate if it becomes getting harder to find new gang members and less cost effective to retain the ones trapped in their sphere.

By increasing the length of prison sentences, we atleast keep them contained for longer.

that's what i meant by viable alternatives to their situation; no matter how long you contain them they eventually have to return to their situation and all at great cost.

If you have any other suggestion, please go ahead and tell me.

aggressive outreach is a more effective tactic at combating gangs
