All you need to do is keep the re-offenders in there.
It costs more than simply giving them a reasonable amount of money to live
on outside. Which makes it poor value for those paying the bills - ie the
taxpayer.
OK, so you're in favour of allowing free-range crime because you don't
like the thought of punishment for criminals.
Your recurring themes demonstrate a totally inability to understand that
the rights of innocent people should be more important than those of
career - or even opportunist - criminals.
The fact is that whilst incarcerated such criminals are not making other
people's lives a misery by their actions, nor are they wasting the time
of the police and the courts and the victims. For those who, as a
consequence, do not get burgled, assaulted, killed, robbed, conned,
windows smashed, have their house burned down, or whatever, that must be
a bargain.
