I've always been of the opinion that America would be much better off if we modeled our prisons after the Black Dolphin.

Part of the reason we're so fucked as a society is because the most likely criminals, i.e. shitskins, aren't deterred by our prison systems. They welcome it. They enjoy it. Hell, some prisons even let inmates play Xbox One. It's a chance to catch up with the homies and brag about whatever it is you did and take a break from being a criminal shitskin on the outside.

But if you made prison a place they didn't actually want to go... well that'd be a pretty good start. I particularly like the fact that they use control holds for every escort, no matter what. No flashing gang signs or looking around for your buddies when you're in that position. Heck, they've got inmates there that are lifers that don't even know the layout of the prison because of this.

The problem is prison itself. For most crimes, prison is an unnecessary diversion. For example, if you steal $500, make them pay back $1000. If they murder someone, execute them.

That said, I think prison does make sense within the context of prison labor. For example, you stole $500, blew it on hookers, and now have do work to pay back $1000.
