Yeah, but anytime some politician suggests doing that, their opponent in the next election will accuse them of being Soft On Crime™, and it’s a remarkably effective strategy. And people will complain about criminals getting a free education. “Nobody paid for my education! And I’m not a criminal! They’re getting treated better than we are!” I mean, it’s not like no one has ever suggested those things. Or even tried them. They have. And they work, when they’re actually given time. But they rarely are. Because stupid marketing works.
