We can start with what we already know. Like people who have a college education are a lot less likely to end up in jail. And a college education is usually cheaper (for the state) than a jail term.
Like drug abuse is a medical problem not a criminal problem.
I'd personally rather someone atone for their crime by giving back to the community. Be it paying for the damages they caused or the things they stole, or community service.
Then we have those who put other people's lives in danger. I don't have a compassionate solution for this. I encourage self defense at a young age. A lot of violent people will back down when people stand up to them.
