I have a wild idea, and I'm not alone, to bring back prison islands. Apparently, there is a fair number of islands around the world that can support life that are uninhabited.

How about you drop a bunch of these guy on one, give 'em hoes and shovels and seeds, and let 'em go. It's almost cerainly never going to happen -- having an inpenetrable patrol around the island 24/7 might be impossible and if a family of yachting tourists happened on the island like happened in one of the Jurassic Park movies - where the little girl almost got eaten by small dinosaurs - oh man, it would be ugly.

Still, it's an appealing thought -- no guards would ever have to have their minds soiled by those miscreants and the a**holes could have a chance at some sort of rehab, if they didn't kill each other first.
