I’ve supported three strikes laws from the beginning. And I never saw them as a deterrent. I saw them simply as a way to remove dangerous people from contact with civilization. End of story.
I think the country should have “three strikes” prisons. Every single inmate is in there because they are in for life because of three strikes. They should not even associate with other prisoners. They are no longer part of our culture nor our society. If we had the technology, I’d like to put them in an underground colony on one of the moons of Jupiter. Give ‘em cable TV and a gym and they can live out their days in an ecclesiastes sort of way, but they have given up their right to be a part of the general society - permanently.
Only exception is that they shouldn't be given gyms where they can bulk up and become even bigger threats. Instead, they should be given strict rules of conduct with summary executions meted out to violators.
