I think excluding a murderer from participating in society is a solid choice for the safety of others. Not saying it's the most perfect solution to a problem, but it is a decent solution.


Oh I'm not saying that they should be released.

I'm asking about what's happening inside those prisons. And what happens to the prisoner after he's released from said environment. Is there a net benefit to society with the current status quo?

I guess in short a better way to put it is this: Is the prisoner reformed and able to reintegrate with society?


And keep them in cages indefinitely just in case the wrong person was convicted after all, or are you also for 'eye for an eye' at that point?
