I hope that if Zimmerman is imprisoned that he will benefit from punishment that has a constructive and rehabilitative purpose, sorely lacking in many American prisons today. Not all offenders are open to treatment, but all deserve to be challenged and encouraged to turn their lives around. Programs in jails and prisons that offer offenders education, life skills, religious expression, and recovery from substance abuse greatly reduce recidivism, benefit society, and help the offenders when they reintegrate into the community.
Often the most difficult time for a former inmate is trying to reintegrate into his or her community. Some parishes have made available church property for transition houses while others assist in providing the spiritual, material, and emotional assistance that the probation and parole system rarely provides.
Similarly, our presence to victims must be compassionate and constant, which includes developing victim ministry programs. Such programs will teach ministers to acknowledge the emotional strain felt by victims, to understand that the search for wholeness can take a very long time, and to encourage victims to redirect their anger from vengeance to true justice and real healing.

Jewish Last Name is 'white' everywhere now, as i have previously explained
however, it's also p. clear he had a privileged upbringing and his vigilante stalking activities were generally approved by the predominantly upper class white community he lived in.

He didn't really harass anyone it seems. That's the prosecutions case but its not holding up so far

it is impossible to dial 911 as many times as he did without harassing someone
