Do people ever learn?

Lionel Tate, now 18, was the youngest person ever sentence to life in prison in the US for the beating death of a 6 year old girl. Given a second chance at life, he was freed in January 2004. Several months later cops found him running around a park with knife and arrested him. Now Tate has been arrested again for supposely robbing a pizza delivery man and beating a 13 year old kid.

Do people like Tate ever learn? Maybe instead of sending him to prison at 12, they should have sent him to an intensive rehabilitation center. But now its too late. Tate was given a second chance and screwed up, then was given a third chance and threw it away. Three strikes and Tate is out. Send him back to prison for life before he kills someone else.
