This atrocity happened very close to where I live, and the event is indelibly etched into our memories. The perpetrators were just miserable people with miserable pointless lives. I'm glad they are off the streets and now a danger only to other prisoners.
It would be cheaper to operate a corporal punishment system. I think the Philippines model is the way to go. First or second offense of a minor crime and you get some lashings, deal with the pain and hopefully learn that its not worth it. Go to a overcrowded short term prison where there is no personal space to await trial. Hard crimes or reoccuring are the death penalty.
Prisons should be a place that NOBODY ever wants to see again, not a second home.
Plenty of places to go in the world where you can do whatever you want, but not here should be the hallmark.

But now the state has to pay $60,000 per year per inmate to keep them comfortable. A bullet would be cheaper.

You really want to live in a place that models the Philippines?
