In reply to Courtney.

I’m actually very open-minded about alternatives to incarceration for many crimes, especially for people with drug addiction or other mental health problems. I’m doubtful when it comes to violent offenders, like the ones listed above.

What do we do with violent people who remain threats to a community? Aside from banishment or death, I’m not aware of any alternatives that don’t put innocent people at risk.
