If they got out and stayed out, those were the ones who the system was capable of helping. For others, (I hope it's a minority) the welfare system is more crippling than enabling. Those are the ones who will just piss away anything you give them, and raise up another generation in their image. Since their only way of getting a pay raise is from breeding, the next generation is often a big one. When you mention the ills of palming off your culls on others, I think of a case in the 1980s where a midwest judge sentenced a child sex offender to California. I'm also reminded that Australia and probably NZ were settled by England's culls.
