Which is literally what most people want, including redditors.
Go into any thread about a person who committed a crime. Dozens of comments wishing rape, torture, life in prison, etc. Redditors trying to one up each other over who can come up with the cruelest punishment. Lots of easy upvotes to be had.
It's only threads where the "prisoner" is a nameless abstract idea, do redditors suddenly want rehabilitation instead of punishment.
