Oh, I do believe that certain people have to be removed from society. For how long is up for debate. I do believe however that the ultimate goal of any incarceration has to be correction. Let them get some degree, let them train at some job, offer them medical help if they're hooked on some drug. Try to make them fit for society. Most crimes are commited because the perps haven't got any perspective in life, because they need money for drugs.
You can remove people form society, but PUNISHMENT should not be the reason. It should be to keep society safe, given no better options.
I only disagree with it as a form of punishment, I don't disagree with it entirely.
