Exactly the point I'm trying to make. Prison should not be used as a deterrent. Prison should be used to separate violent criminals from society for the protection of the citizens. You take a millionaire criminal and put him in a halfway house or studio apartment and make him work for minimum wage and do 100,000 hours of community service, I think they'll learn their lesson and give a little back to the community they stole from. Throw them in prison and give them free food and medical services for a decade and it only hurts taxpayers.
