I have not seen an incarceration rate comparison between a representative EU nation and SF. I have seen compassions between SF and other CA cities and ours is and has been since Gascon much much much lower.
Jobs are not a zero sum game, more employed people functioning in the economy means more productivity, more resources and more jobs. Our economy would be better without all the dead weight of such an obscene number of prisoners.

But I’m trying to rethink prison. Why do we have to accept it as dead weight?

Its not precisely dead weight now, and that's part of the problem its being abused to create a system of mass slavery. The owners of the private prisons are selling the inmates time to the highest bidder, and paying the inmates cents a day.
