I think the fundamental problem you have here is that you're assuming you're on the unemotional side of the argument. Actually, you're proposing the anti-science, knee-jerk cruelty of the American system, which is as far from a rational prison system as a first world country gets. Ultimately, everything needs to be judged on results. There are definitely groups that benefit from the US prison system, but the public at large and taxpayers are not among them.

And then you lost me. You pack a lot of shallow, sloppy thinking into that second sentence.
