I do admit the system turned out to be a lot more reasonable and nuanced than I thought it would be. Literally every single person I've met across multiple offender counseling groups has been very insightful about their problems, how they led to their offending and how to address their problems and move on with their lives. I've learned a lot about things like how your attachment style forms, CBT therapy and the like.

And it wasn't that violent "shitbags" are exceedingly rare, it's that the psychologists I've spoken to have very rarely encountered someone who is a "lost cause" so to speak.

Fair.

Maybe Im just jaded. Ive met many people that I believe to be lost causes.

That said, Ive also met a number of people who, on paper, had absolutely no chance of success, but have managed it anyway. Im probably one of them myself.
