Think of the money that would save.

We could have a totally abstract system of justice, and it wouldn't cost us anything.

Great points!

SO: Unless someone can show that jails and prisons prevent crime (and not just during the time the perp is locked up), we should fire all the cops and shut down all jails and prisons.

After all, locking someone up in a small box MUST be what the Founders meant by "cruel and unusual punishment", right?
