The way I see it; he was already in solitary confinement. He fed and housed himself so the taxpayers were off the hook for that. If we could be sure he was leaving the kiddies alone; I’d say let him be.
Now he will be a drain on the system but I guess that’s the way the system is set up... for now.
I’d prefer to see prisons be working factories or farms for those who were low risk and not convicted of a violent crime. Those inmates could be making little rocks from big rocks.
None of this laying around all day playing cards, board games, and watching tv with their buddies in prison. Hard time would be nothing to do and no one to talk with.
A solo gulag, with an easier work schedule.
