EXACTLY. I'd love to replace prisons, generally, with internal exile. A few hundred (or thousand) square miles, with roads, towns, etc. Fences and minefields all around. Decently civilized inside! Let them have liquor stores and McDonalds and cars and body shops. https://twitter.com/ScholarAtArms/status/1002612310849019904 …

Even an authoritarian regime has to take account of public pressure. Internal exile can be couched as "reform". "Oh, look, we're giving these poor people a chance to earn life skills in small businesses, a choice of food, and some autonomy!" Splits the progs: some like it.

And you put the prison zone on the border (say, southern Arizona or NM). This (a) means we get a wall w Mexico fore free, (b) greases the path for "decolonizing" an "autonomous region" 50 years later.
