society until they're not broken any longer. If that doesn't happen, keep them removed.

Do they suffer by being removed from society and losing their freedom? Perhaps. Not my problem. They made other people suffer, so they're broken, as you say. Isolate them from the general society. Treat them humanely, but keep them from doing further harm. How are we to know which people are broken? Once they demonstrate that by harming others, away with them!

I'm opposed to killing people. Period. I'm not opposed to removing broken people who harm others from society. I favor that.
