Something like 70 to 75 percent of Americans are never arrested in their lives. Another 20 to 25 percent are arrested once, usually for something minor. Almost all of the arrests, especially for violent crimes, are coming from about 5 percent of the population. If all of these people were just thrown in a cage forever and forgotten about, the rest of us could live in peace. That's a fact. You could essentially solve the crime problem, almost completely, by arresting the tiny minority of the population that commits basically all of it. Instead we let them roam the streets, continually release them back into the public, and watch helplessly as they kill, rape, and destroy, even though nobody on Earth can explain why this system makes sense, or is fair, or moral, or just.

The fact nobody wants to face is that some people, a small minority, are just not capable of living in civilized society. They’ll never be capable of it. They won’t be reformed or rehabilitated. They won’t be made into productive citizens. There won’t be any happy ending for them. We can either face this reality and deal with them accordingly, or we can insist, as we have done for decades, to live in a fantasy world where a guy who’s been arrested 10 times before the age of 25 might one day magically reform himself and become a businessman with a wife and three children and a mortgage that he pays on time every month. Many thousands of people have died for the sake of this fantasy. Entire cities have been made unlivable for it. Untold misery and destruction, all in service to a lie that nobody actually believes.

Some people are saying that this plan is not practical because we don’t have the space in prisons. Well, another option would be firing squads to deal with these people. If you don’t like that option then I guess we need to build more prisons, or bring back penal colonies. There are many ways to do it.
