> an arsonist that just burns down buildings for the lawls

Yeah there aren't many people like that and the people who are like that don't belong in a prison.

Anyways, one of the best ways to make someone "a continued drain on society due to continued criminal activity" is to put them in prison, give them a career-killing record that will follow them forever, and put them in contact with other criminals on a daily basis.

Prison is a self-reinforcing system that is itself the drain on society.
