I don't understand why we let people out of prison if we aren't prepared to actually let them out of prison. I'm not really bleeding heart about this, I'd be fine with any murder of this sort meaning life in prison. What does not make sense is letting someone out and then not treating them as normal humans again. It only encourages people to revert to evil.
I agree. She beat a child to death. Instinctively, we all know she is a monster - even if she was created by her upbringing - and she probably should never have been let out of prison. There is no rehabilitation for what she did.

There is no "we" as you mention. Everyone is an individual with different values and judgments. How could you expect the entirety of the human race to treat someones actions in a consistent way? It simply is going against reality.
This is not true. We live in a society with rules and laws on how to treat people. If the law says someone goes to prison for murder then "we" as a society have agreed to this. If everyone lived by different laws, we'd be in chaos.
You are saying people are not individuals with their own preferences?
Sure you can draw mental or geographical lines around people. And then try to apply laws to them.
But at the end of the day there are still people in those lines choosing to follow, or not follow the laws in various ways. And people treating people differently even while following those laws.
