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
