Addressing this point here, your comment here is that the consequences aren't deterring crime. Just a question, despite being pervasive, prohibitively expensive, and epedimiologically risky, has Incarceration anywhere effectively deterred crime(especially drug use?)?

Listening to our medical professionals, I think its important to release violent criminals too, many of our prisoners have seen decades behind bars and no longer pose a risk of violence in our society.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/04/10/prison-violent-offender-jail-coronavirus/ …

"It's important to release violent criminals too" is too open a statement for me. I'd agree that in most circumstances (see: not a demonstrated repeat offenders) inmates who have been behind bars for decades have paid a significant debt to society and could be reviewed for parole

Absent violence, there can be no moral justification for existentially risking society. Not about the lives of the criminal mass incarceration poses a epidemiological risk of loss of life to the whole, especially acute in moment of pandemic.
