Why put non-violent offenders in prison at all? Prison is a pretty extreme step to take, I would avoid using it unless the person is likely to physically harm

Why put non-violent offenders in prison at all? Prison is a pretty extreme step to take, I would avoid using it unless the person is likely to physically harm people.
- spindritf 14y agoThat may be some low retribution instinct but I don't want people like Madoff in the society.
- flyinRyan 14y agoWhy? You think it's better to use expensive prison space to house him instead of just leaving him in society but fining him heavily and garnishing any income he might produce? That way he can pay for his own food and housing as well as his fines. I don't get why you'd be so mad at Madoff. He's basically a scape goat for the financial crisis. He did one ponzi scheme for a few billion dollars. Some other criminals ripped off trillions and they're still at it.
