In a modern country he should get the help and support he needs, hopefully enough to live a normal life, and if not then he should be kept in a mental health facility where he can be comfortable but not a threat to himself or others

True, rehabilitation is the modern way. Cruel capital punishment is so medieval

Imagine if it was done for profit, that'd be the worst thing imaginable!!

Just a reminder that for profit prisons only house 8% of US inmates.

The problem is the prison contracts for public prisons.

Just a reminder that 8% of US inmates is 8% of a quarter of all the inmates on the planet

No doubt that the US has major issues with prison populations, but there seems to be this idea that most US prisons are privately owned, which isn't true.
