I think you're right. There is some merit to putting people who might pose a danger to society behind bars, but this only addresses half of the issue. I'd like to see a justice system that recognizes ways to help those people develop into functional human beings. From what little I know, Scandinavian countries already take this approach, to some extent; is it working, I wonder?
