This city is our house, and we've decided that criminals aren't allowed in our house. They keep trying though, so instead of shooting them we put them in their own "house". Since we're paying for it it's not a very extravagant house.
The only differences between what you're proposing and what we have is consistency and a system of checks, balances, and appeals that does not rely on the whims of a small subset of people who feel maligned. Oh, and the shooting people part. What we have doesn't get it right all the time, obviously. I fail to see how you can judge our system as immoral compared to your own when the system you're proposing is exactly the type of system we abandoned because it didn't work at all. Our courts and system of law are designed specifically to address the situation you are presenting as an alternative.
