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

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.

Depends how long they're in for. Most violent offenses are not murders and don't attract decades long sentences, even in America (I am not a prison abolitionist by any stretch but think US sentencing is harsh and overpunitive).
