This is kinda gross.
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.

Wrong. Incarcerating criminals is good, as we learned in the post-war crime wave. American cities are livable again.

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.
