How do you segregate potentially violent people? Put them with themselves so when they inevitably kill each other you can just handwave it off by saying they were already violent? I’m not saying this as a gotcha, it’s just that the city is not equipped to deal with permanently violent people.

The country isn’t equipped for it. If we can’t medically treat people to the point where they’re functional, long term care is needed. We simply don’t have those facilities. Investment is necessary but the financial will to help them is not. Prison isn’t the place for mentally disturbed individuals.
