We need a NIP IT IN THE BUD solution. Something beyond just more "prison reform"
That's what we've been doing. It's unlikely that we can improve on it, even if theoretically prisons could be made more effective.
Something new and more drastic needs to be tried.
First, we need to recognize that it's YOUNG MALES who commit virtually all the serious crimes, including atrocities, war crimes, terrorism, etc. So something has to be done about young males.
solution: implant a device/transponder/gadget into every male child's body that monitors his movement and behavior and which cannot be removed, and which allows watchers to transmit corrective signals (or whatever steps are needed) when the child/boy/teenager/young man begins to engage in destructive behavior. (Maybe the device could be removed when the subject reaches age 40 or so.)
This device has to be implanted into ALL young males, without exception, not just convicted criminals. And it needs to begin early, before age 10. It should be done worldwide. The countries which protest against it the most are probably the countries that most need it.
It might require a period of research to produce a suitable device, but the technology for this probably already exists, or at least the scientific principles, which engineers could develop for this purpose.
Drastic problems require drastic measures. This is a serious solution. The research should begin ASAP, if it hasn't begun already. Once these have been implanted into most young males for several years, a vast amount of the world's human-caused problems would be fixed.
I've got a better idea - let's just reform the penal codes so when they get outside the prison gates they'll say, with feeling, 'Never, never again!' Sorted!
