I am NOT for spending money to incarcerate these people, they should get NONE of our resources.

Ideally we'd dump them all on an island and let them fight for their lives on a plot of land with limited resources.

Gulag, forced-labour camp. If they refuse to work, lobotomise them, or have them made an example of. I'm against the death penalty as the default option for heinous crimes, but if a corpse motivates a camp of sociopaths to work...
