Prison doesn't make deeply disturbed individuals less disturbed.

True, and some people should probably be removed from society in general. Give them a pleasant life, but understand that they are too dangerous to allow back into society. We expect common citizens to be willing to sacrifice their lives in defense of our society. I don't think asking someone who was trying to murder random strangers (for example) to sacrifice their freedom is asking too much.

Perhaps a farm surrounded by a giant concrete/steel wall would be better for everyone than prison is.

Precisely.
