Fair enough, the whole point of the prison system is to rehabilitate people who commit a crime to hopefully minimise the risk that they'll commit crimes in the future, and return them to the world to be a net positive benefit to society from there on out.
If we lived in a world country where we assumed criminals could never be rehabilitated and would simply continue to commit crimes after their time in custody, why even keep them alive wasting time and resources? That system would benefit from simply executing all criminals on the spot.
Which would be insane.
No it would benefit from selling them as slave labor.
