I can think of quite a few non-violent human beings I think could use a few years in cages--white collar criminals and their political accomplices, mainly. Jailing a few bankers, for example, would do us all a world of good.

That said, if you're talking about drug dealers and other non-violent poor people whom we regularly incarcerate primarily to feed the prison-industrial complex, then yes. I hear you.
