    You’ve gotta be careful with that. Because once they get out, the way our prison system is designed currently, they’re certainly not less likely to be violent than they were going in.

    Plus you’ve gotta be careful about what you even mean by “the criminal is violent”. Physically assaulting a person is very different from breaking and entering to steal, which is itself different from ohysically resisting arrest when police use force against an otherwise peaceful protest. But all 3 of these will be called violent by the media, the police, and politicians.
