Issue is, do you want a prison in your neighborhood? I could do without one in mine. I got enough in my vicinity. I wish I had the answer but I don't. The small time offender who does a year or two comes out and continues to commit crime. Usually ends back in prison. The hardcore criminal gets life of course or death penalty but they sit for years on death row. Classic example is the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez

Apprehended in 1985 and last I heard was still on the row in 2006. Ever seen the movie Escape for New York? Perhaps that should be done. One island out in the ocean. No means of escape. Drop food weekly. Let'em duke it out on their own.
