UPSIDES OF INCAPACITATION Deterrence as a “side-effect” It “works” to prevent future crimes (violence?) – For some crimes (larceny/robbery/burglary) IT IS EASY TO DO More CO jobs Immediate Non-prison

Limits or Downsides Collateral damage  who is locked up – RE-entry, marriage pool, prison as crime school, innocent people may get locked up COST  blunt tool – Versus what? Moral issues (fairness) Difficult to reverse course Only works for some crimes (not serious violent) No root cause attack The more you do it, the less it works
