Re-education camps are bad things even if you agree with what they're "educating"
You can't apply dogma to someone by forcing it onto them. People have to come to realizations on their own. You can help them to that realization by doing a number of things that are ostensibly agnostic (offering critical thinking courses at the local library, encouraging people to learn how civics actually works, etc..)
But you can't just throw them in a "facility" and say "this is what we want you to believe and you're going to sit there until you do."
You try your best to encourage them to your side. But if they don't want to come, the best you can do is to mitigate the destruction their willful ignorance can do.
If he can't come to a realization on his own, then he stays in the camp forever. I see no problem with this.
