Inmates should be kept from each other to some extent. I've talked to jailers and much like criminal defense attorneys they don't think very highly of those they deal with on a daily basis.
Being put in with other bad criminals makes things worse.
As far as change goes, can a person change? Somewhat.
Whenever someone asks that question I phrase it by saying "what happens when you go to the gym several times a week for long durations with a plan?" Change happens, significant change, throw in diet etc.
Some respond better to training more than others.
In regards to charging people as sexual predators it's effective. I had someone in a college course that was always so damn quiet, it was weird, nice guy though. He never liked to talk to people because he was under house arrest and talking would result in them finding out that he may have been caught illegal porn. Apparently he had depictions of a high school girl on his computer in the police report. Happen all the time now with kids and snapchat, my niece is wild and I think she got in some trouble with snapchat.
I read later that he violated his probation by watching a regular porn flick (they had the title and everything and it was rather tame).
Being labeled a sex predator is a life sentence, everytime you meet someone new you wonder if/when they'll find out and you'll always be able to tell when they do. The unfortunate thing to is like a felony, it doesn't matter how severe it is, it's all the same thing to the mind of the average person.
