> How do you know whether a murderer won't be a repeat murderer?

I don't know. I just don't believe "but he hasn't paid for his crime _enough_" isn't helpful.

No, there are justifications/benefits to keeping people imprisoned beyond "paying for his crime". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incapacitation_(penology)

Thank you for... agreeing with me?

I didn't say there weren't reasons for imprisonment. I said that "he hasn't paid for his crime enough" is not a good reason.
