I did not study criminology nor psychiatry, so I don't know what these worst cases look like or at what point someone is rehabilitated. What is obvious to me however , is that humane "prisons" should be utilised — if at all — which would be more communities than a prison with guards. In a communist society, with a different cultural and political context, I can see those being preferred as a matter of course
Well, obviously. Social workers in rehabs now have access to guards. It's not like having a fun environment means a meth addict undergoing withdrawal will be equally as fun.
What do you propose then?
I dont care much about individual cases, I'm talking about prison abolishment at large.
Detaining the worst cases for life, at least until we can be almost completely certain they won't relapse.
So no I don't think you can get rid of prisons entirely, but you could probably cut them down by like 95%.

In general I agree but I can't imagine not having at least some security in form of trained guards or reinforced doors for the worst cases.
