If threat to society is the only purpose to put someone behind bars, then a large swathe of the incarcerated population wouldn't be behind bars. You could make the same argument for Bernie Madoff, who probably isn't a danger to society considering his fraud is out in the open.

Pretty sure Madoff isn’t currently a danger to society because he’s been dead for almost 4 years now.

Pretty superficial way to not address GP's underlying point, which makes sense whether or not Madoff died.
