Not sure what that has to do with my point.
Prison should be the absolute last resort.
Many prisoners have mental health issues, trauma, low level education etc. and I think it's overused in the UK.
Some people have committed violent crimes that victims want ti be punished severely, some people are a danger to society and rehabilitation failed, but as a whole prison is expensive and often makes outcomes worse.
Been in prison? Now you can't get a job in many places....and so on.
