1st conviction... 3 months solitary confinement. No light. No sound. No bed. No medical care. No contact with anybody except once a day when somebody brings him a meal and a quart of water and shoves it through a slot under the door of his cell. The cell will be 4'x4'x4'... too small to stand, or lie down. Once a week the prisoner and the cell will be hosed down with a fire hose. The idea is that after the first offense, if he has any brains, he won't want to return.
2nd conviction... 6 months solitary confinement as above. The guy will be a totally broken man.
3rd conviction... If the guy hasn't caught on by now, he's not going to. I don't want to support him for life. Any organs usable will be harvested. The rest of the body will be ground into a prisonerburger and will feed the prisoners the next meal.
Appeals... only one, and that at the discretion of the court. If the court thinks there is sufficient reason to be certain to overturn the original verdict. The prisoner will not be allowed out of his cell to appear at the hearing. The appeals lawyer is paid nothing.
Insane? Inhumane? I'll admit it's not "politically correct."
BUT... let's look at what we do instead?
We feed, house, clothe prisoners.
We take care of their medical and dental needs.
We provide education.
We provide computers.
We provide gymnasiums that are better equipped than some of those non-prisoners pay a hundred bucks a month to use.
We provide them opportunity to discuss crime with other prisoners.
Prisoners emerge from prison healthier, more fit, better educated, and better trained criminals. For them a return to prison is not further punishment... it's a refresher course.
Some prisoners for whose crimes are considered punishable by death or life imprisonment, become a permanent burden upon the very society they harmed.
This is sane? This is humane? Think of the victims... past and future.
What about the prisoners' rights? What about them? When they go to prison they lose a lot of rights enjoyed by society. Freedom of assembly, right to keep and bear arms, right to protest, freedom of speech.
What about due process? Due process is the reason they're in prison. They've had access to due process.
Prisoners' rights? What about the rights of their victims? What about the right of society to be protected from such predators?

innovation.. in the police dept. in orlando fl, they went to sleep and now crime rates are soaring, so now they want to improvise.. the lesson is that offense is the best defense against crime, as soon as the police release pressure on specific areas crime just raise as a plague. Unfortunately in Florida they are loosing what was once an excellent police dept. really admired in other states.

Put speed sensors and camera's on the highway and roadways to issue tickets as needed and reallocate the resources to higher crime districts.
It is annoying to see a cop car hiding in the median when "known gangs" ...yes known, are gathering outside "known" drug houses.

Rehabilitation, jobs for offenders who have completed their sentence, and shorter prison sentences. I know shorter sounds crazy, but after a few years, you learn how to be a prisoner and can't be anything else.

Harsher penalties. No plea bargaining. No shorter sentences for "good behaviour." The death penalty be legal in every state. The death penalty, Not life sentences where murder is involved.
