You could add that the price for having a single person in jail is more than people steal. A prisoner costs, in California, $106000 per year. It would literally be cheaper (and obviously far more efficient for the economy) to offer anyone who steals $50 000 per year as long as they don't steal again. I mean you'd be paying criminals more than police officers, so I get that there would be revolution, but perhaps there are a LOT of cheap possibilities. If you offer someone $10k and what you ask in return keeps them out of prison for 3 months, that's a LARGE profit for the economy ... The "prevent economic loss, by preventing stealing" argument is pretty strongly against prisons, doubly so in California. |
