Yep, a case like House's would seem to call for some mandatory type of counselling along with home detention and some sort of monitoring rather than prison, which doesn't 'rehabilitate' him or deter him ( it certainly didn't stop him embarking on several illegal things shortly after getting out on parole). One wonders if he faced any civil consequences for the damage to Cuddy's home, a passing mention of that might have been nice. I was glad that they showed him doing 'anger management' classes - but of course it was just used as a plot device rather than any attempt to delve into his issues.
