If thats goal then find people to invest in affordable housing, community safety nets, transitional supprt for released prisoners, more access to education, etc. Locking up humans until they break or never releasing those deemed a threat is the solution of simpletons and racists

What if these people commit crime for reasons unrelated to what you just mentioned?

Our current system focuses almost exclusive on a punishment model (even as minor reforms are made concerning treatment and deferral). As a society, we're overwhelmed looking for bad guys, processing them, punishing them, being angry about them... We don't look for real solves.

It's not about punishment, it's about removing people who have a high propensity for crime from society for our protection.

Why do people commit crimes? How can you create an environment where crime diminishes? We tried mass incarceration and, guess what, we aren't collectively safer and the negative impact on the disruptions on our communities makes us all collectively worse.

Emil O W Kirkegaard @KirkegaardEmil"High-persistence offenders (n = 2,812, 11 or more violent crime convictions per individual) constituted 0.1 % of the total population cohort and 3.0 % of the offender group.

Collectively the prison population would make it the 4th largest city in US. Incarcerating people vastly exceeds cost of improving systems that diminish crime to a greater degree. And thats w/o talking about impact of ineffective and cruel incarceration on innocent families.

You are right, if we identify "animals" in society and just cage them for life (or heck, why not shoot on sight), there is less of a chance that this person with his "proclivity" can ever damage you or your very valuable property. But at what cost? Our humanity? Enlightenment?

Sorry, but in the real world we sometimes have to do things that conflict with left wing utopian fantasies about the plasticity of human nature.
