Within this is the paradox facing anti-capital punishment and anti-prison folks: namely, a small but persistent part of society possesses all the tools to function within and shape society, but none of the tools to make moral or ethical decisions outside of a framework of consequences they fear.

Absent physical threat, they will make choices that harm the rest of us, that satisfy their basest urges or give them some kind of visceral reward.

I honestly don't know what we do with them.
