Isolation seems sensible, but it isn' t really a solution. Finally, isolating criminals en masse seems to do nothing but encourage their criminality. A young person is imprisoned for some minor felony. After surviving 5 years confinement with bitter, violent, sociopathic individuals, and also spending those 5 years learning their skills and secrets, he emerges with his criminal abilities, and his criminal tendencies, multiplied ten-fold. This is hardly an effective long-term preventative measure.
Remuneration seems like a good idea, but in practice, is somewhat laughable.
The psychological trauma caused by these events will scar victims for a lifetime. No possible amount of physical remuneration can be enough. For more major crimes, remuneration ceases to be a meaningful idea.
