Prison ~~labor~~ should not be ~~a business~~.
How would you deal with someone who is causing harm to others and can't be rehabilitated then, if not by forcefully isolating them from society?
Please see this subsection of An Anarchist FAQ. In particular, in the extraordinarily rare cases where "forcefully isolating them from society" is the only sensible solution (which is rare even in modern carceral societies, so I expect to be even rarer in anarchist societies), this does not necessarily mean creating a prison complex and keeping the offender in a cage!
If all of the criminals are locked up in a psychiatric ward, what makes that any better than prison?
At least in prison, the guards aren't allowed to drug you without your consent.
That's...not what I said.
