Hey, if there is a practical incentive for judges to incarcerate less people in this psychotic, off-the-deep-end "justice" system where almost nobody who is incarcerated long-term should be, I'm all for it. Whatever it takes.
On the other hand, I am intensely wary of formulations like this: "The imprisonment of X will cost taxpayers $YYY,YYY over his lifetime." That sounds awfully similar to posters for the Nazi Aktion T4 euthanasia program, e.g. "This mental invalid costs the Reich 60,000 marks over his lifetime. Do the merciful thing... it's your money." There has got to be a more delicate way to put that.
