    The resources argument doesn’t really make sense. Locking someone up for life is more resources than a few years of rehabilitation.

      Different kind of resources. We aren’t running out of wardens or jail space (well, yes we are, but no one cares, and they’ll just stack more in anyway…), we don’t have enough mental health professionals.
