Koan: "We do the minimum we need to do to that person while separating him from society."

I don't see that anywhere in the legal standards. So you just pulled it out of some dark place of your own. What we should be doing is to do what is needed to provide a just resolution to the crime. Your solution does not allow for just resolution nor does it allow case closure which a healthy society needs.

Koan: "IN the future they will develop prisons that truly rehabilitate folks, or fix their problems."

No they wont. Most religions make that claim but do not attribute it to this temporal life. Until you change the world, you are not going to see that take place on Earth. The world hasn't changed since Able slew Kane as far as I can see. So it is a losing proposition. Fail.

They go to prison and continue to murder and viciously assault others. Rehabilitate means to return to it's former state. Prisons are full of treatment programs.

The purpose of prisons is to isolate the criminal from innocent society and to act as a deterrent to future bad behavior. The best deterrent for a vicious animal is to execute it.

Koan,
IN the future they will develop prisons that truly rehabilitate folks, or fix their problems.
North Korea already has. Their prisons do a fantastic job "rehabilitating" people.
