There are fates worse than death, you're right. But I think you would be one of the few who would prefer it to prison as it currently exists. But I think a sub point you have made is that prison is tantamount to torture, and I in some ways agree with that, which is why I say that non-rehabilitory prisons are unethical. It's also the model in the entire US.

Trapping people is evil.

Yes, I agree. Particularly when it isn't just rehabilitative and is punitive.
