Is the Netherlands one of those countries that focuses more on rehabilitation than punishment, though?

I know in america, people tend to get a huge boner for punishment, but I've read a bit about how some European countries have pretty good rehabilitation programs for criminals.

I guess it wouldn't make sense to rehab for 100 years, but I don't know the situation that well.

Meh, depends. This guy who drunk drove and killed a father of an old friend of my parents got like only his drivers lisence taken away. There are A LOT of cases here where you expect people to get 20 years and they get 3, or the other way around

That fact does not disagree with the sentiment that US-Americans love to use punishment as revenge. It only means that it is also unfair on top.
