I would think a top performer would like least the tenure system, as they're in demand but their job outlook stunted by (perhaps numerical minority) crusty elements that can't be supplanted.
Norway overhauled their prison system in the late 90s, and their per capita mass shootings since then far outweigh the US.
They're at like 20x the US for 2009-2015. Even if you do the total rehabilitative 20 years or so of data they're at least 4x worse than the US in per capita mass shooting.
What do you think happens if you violate a court order? That's the threat behind violating the order of a judge. That it didn't happen doesn't mean my statement was incorrect. If they had actually left in contempt of the order, I would have said it did happen rather than it can happen.
If I sent you a link about a person's funeral to show a person had been born, would you not accept that either? The article is about the funeral of the order.
Why not claim you have engineers that deliver the best value to shareholders? Employing the smartest people in the world to make an app to skim money off taxi going from point A to point B can't possibly be a judicious good value use of human resources, especially in the context of the extreme premium those at the absolute top demand.
How in the hell does one not make a profit when literally all they do is skim off the top of unlicensed taxi drivers, using an already fairly functional product?
If you want my solution, here's roughly what I would do:
Victimless crime: basically no penalty for this, most of it should be eliminated as crime. Maybe a small fine or education at the worst.
Non-violent crime: Goal is restitution. Income or benefits are deducted to make the victim whole, probably with punitive damages to the victim as well. Basically no jail except in willful attempt to avoid restitution to victim, and perhaps not even then.
Violent crime: Most cases rehabilitation, plus restitution to victims. Prison is close to Norway type system for violence not resulting in dismemberment/death/permanent brain damage.
First instance of brutal violent crime to one victim: Norway type rehabilitation.
Repeated rape, repeated murder conviction, repeated molestation of children, repeated brutal life-disabling violence: Trial, exhaustive appeals, bullet to the head.
Mass murder of innocents: Trial, exhaustive appeals, then a bullet to the head.
