Hell yes they behave, you can bet your arse some punk in the US is less likely to commit an act of crime if he faces going to a hell hole like Rikers vs. going to a dorm like wall to wall carpet hotel with nice beds, tv's, fitness center, etc. crime is bad in the US even with tough incentive not to do it, just imagine if there was no incentive it would be totally out of control there. The solution is multi-pronged ensure victims get justice and offenders get sent to an environment they fear like nothing else. At the same time work to break the cycle and the root cause issues that led them to crime in the first place. instead of spending 60k a year per inmate spend 15k a year and dump the rest back into education, youth centres etc.. just rough examples..
