No doubt about it. There would be higher costs involved. I don't see it being nearly as bleak as you suggest though. I think that locking violent felons up would pay its own dividend. I mean, what is the cost of violent crime in this country? In dollars and cents it got to be in the tens of billions. Locking violent, repeat offenders for life would, I believe, dramatically effect the crime rate and drive these costs down. Throw in the cost reduction in human misery and I think it would be money well spent.
