They could raise more money if they wanted to. So yes, false choice. Besides, my plan would actually likely save money overall because people wouldn't be thrown in prison for drug crimes and most other non-violent crimes.
No it's not. A certain percentage (I won't speculate exactly what that is) definitely would.
There is no guarantee that any individual criminal will. But when you have thousands and thousands of them, it is guaranteed that some of them will. And since there is no way to be sure which murderers and rapists will murder and rape again, it's best to lock them all away.
Obvious danger? Like scum who have proved they are willing to murder and/or rape?
