That would not be possible, costs would be too high. Most prisoners must be held in communal-style prison quarters.
The problem can never be resolved at the end of the path that criminals follow, you have to offer these human beings another path early in life, one that leads to a normal life that gives them an income and some kind of hope for an increasingly better life as they work for it. But, in order to do that, society would almost have to be turned on it's head. So, the ruling class accepts the situation as it is in order to carry on with making the maximum amount of money possible. Their method is to remove a number of violent criminals from society and either kill them or lock them up for a long time so that they cannot interfere with "law-abiding" citizens too much. And so continues the great fraud of a balanced and progressive society under capitalism.
My explanation above is very simplified, of course. But the topic of this thread is irrational and I can't justify spending a whole lot of time going over old ground. Killing people who commit murder doesn't make any sense if you make death the penalty in order to prevent the crime. No one here, or anywhere, can provide evidence to prove my assertion is wrong. So, whenever someone calls for an execution, and in the same breath implies or outrightly says that doing so would send a message to future criminals, that person is usually full of shit or mentally disturbed. In either case, can't be wasting too much time on them, I got Josh thread trolling to attend to!
