Not intentionally jumping on the way you phrased this, but doing exactly that: "keeping ppl who are likely to do violent crime away from other ppl" by forcing violent people to live together in a place designed to be violent is a major part of the problem.

Violent people are people and many respond well to being treated like it. Other countries figured this out. They keep prisons, but allow prisoners autonomy and provide amenities indistinguishable from a hotel. That "can't work here" because we lock up non-violent people, too.

most people who do violent crime get out eventually, and most of them are around other people- their fellow inmates. My belief is that prison is for deterrence - and the relevant target demographic, those who are successfully deterred - are those who never go to prison.

They get out eventually but often theyre old at that point and olds aint got time for that shit
