Why not "off-shore" them? It would be cheaper and we wouldn't really have to worry.

For the hard-core violent bad-ass, confinement to a Siberian labor camp for the duration of the sentence. The Russians would probably accept $12K/head/year.

For the white-collar criminal, a Chinese "reeducation" camp, with rigorous discipline, daily chores and lots of lectures on responsibility. Say $8K/head/year?
