No, society does not want to spend an absurd amount of money keeping people incarcerated. About half of society strongly opposes letting criminals run free, out causing mayhem and destroying our civilization. About half of society strongly opposes letting a judge order a bailiff to fix the issue with a $0.25 bullet as soon as the verdict is in. That leaves us with the option nobody likes, which is that we spend an absurd amount of money keeping people incarcerated. Most of society grudgingly accepts this.
