Uh, just because were not incarcerating quite as many people as the rest of our incarceration happy nation, does not mean we do not have a mass incarceration problem. We still have more people incarcerated than any country in europe by capita.
But what if for every prisoner we get a carpenter. But that causes someone from abroad not to be able to immigrate due to no available jobs?

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?
