Ironically, one of the Scandinavian countries basically does exactly that - it's prison, but without the risk of assault/death, and without the total lack of amenities.

Still stuck there, ofc, but not dehumanized as a result.

Most people dont' want much - safety, medical care, somewhere tolerable to sit, and something to do makes a world of difference vs the US system. See comparative recidivism rates...
