Justice system failing us?

Did you read the Sun the other day, I think it was tuesday? Recently, a convicted rapist was released from prison, he had served his time. But what I found interesting is that they still deem him a great threat to society and people have to beware of him. What do they call prisons now? Oh yeah, rehabilitation centres. If he obviously is not "rehabilitated" to integrate into society and be a functional citizen, and is a danger to (they actually expect him to) commit the same crime he was convicted of, why is he being set loose? I know he spent his time, but there ought to be a evaluation for each types of these criminals. If he is still the same danger he was when he was put in, why not keep him there? He hasn't learnt his lesson. Our justice system is so lenient that it usually fails us. Two months ago, an adolescent was acquitted for the murder of Josh Hunt. This teen bear maced Hunt, and stabbed him to death. My main reason for being upset is the convicted sexual offender being released even though he is still thought to be a great danger to everyone around him. What is this world coming to?
