1) the death penalty is bad on moral, financial, and statistical grounds.  It's not the 1600s any more, so we don't have people who are too dangerous to be kept alive.

2) there are a minority of criminals who are sociopaths/bad by their nature and there's really no way to rehabilitate them.  Therefore, we need life without parole.  Those people should be identified using a scientific process and locked up permanently without being given PlayStations or other ridiculous bullsh**t and kept in Spartan, non torturous conditions.  They can euthanize themselves if they'd like.

3) a sizeable majority of criminals are capable of being rehabilitated and the united states does an awful job at identifying and reintegrating these people.   It'd have to be through a very discerning, evidence based sentencing placement into this rehabilitatable group (I.e., someone who commits a crime of desperation or passion as opposed to someone who is a cold blooded murderer or attracted to 8 yos), then giving aggressive financial incentives to employers, maintaining strong community ties during imprisonment and ensuring reintegration, and educating the living sh**t out of prisoners and making it so going to prison is basically like going to college or technical school.

4) some crimes are better punished outside of prison (opioid abuse, compounding fines to give obvious examples)
