Fire him to take away his power and provide mandatory counseling. Evaluate whether the root of the problem behavior was racism or police training indoctrination or (most likely) both. Address the problem from the appropriate angle. "What if that doesn't work?" Prisons don't work.

True, but they seem to believe they can't just say pain is the point of prisons. They may be wrong, since many Americans enjoy hurting criminals. I think a better system would be actually correctional and that Americans' lust for vengence is a byproduct by the current system.

Either way, the Chauvin's problems will not and cannot be solved until he's deprogrammed from the police cult. Sincerely doubt that will happen in prison.

cult deprogramming isnt real its just differently programming vengeance is definitely the worst reason for prison but a more central one wrt violent crime is keeping ppl who are likely to do violent crime away from other ppl

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.
