While we agree in some spots there, I can't get on board with your contention that removing sexual repression would have kept Dahmer or any number of serial killers from being $.90 short of a human buck. Does that mean that you also believe that it was strictly bullying that led to the Columbine massacre? Lots of different theories abound, and I am a strong advocate of progressive social change-but when it comes to violent serial offenders, be they rapists or murderers, my sentimentality simply vanishes, and that is pragmatic as much as vengeful.
So. Lay off the unnecessary "WTF, oh, it's epimethean" bullshit if you want to be anti-authoritarian. Let's make a wager that it would take longer to figure out why a serial rapist rapes repeatedly and cannot be "fixed," and why a serial killer murders repeatedly without hope of being fixed than he is likely to live in solitary. Solitary is necessary for such violent creatures, and I am not sorry to say that I do not think they deserve better. Really, I think I was going above and beyond your current level of estimation in agreeing that a "prisonland" might work. That doesn't mean I want those fuckers in my backyard, and I don't think you'll find many who would say, "sure, put 'em right there in the North 40-" unless it's somebody else's North 40. Why do you think the English sent them to fucking Australia instead of putting them on the Shetlands, Orkneys or Arans?
