Why don't we stop feeding criminals with our taxes and use them for better purposes?

Why do we provide warm beds, food, and humane conditions to criminals? Instead of feeding these people with our taxes, why don't we send them to concentration camps? In my opinion, rapists, fraudsters, hackers, muggers, murderers, thieves, and similar individuals who do not benefit society should be strictly and heavily worked as either human guinea pigs or free laborers in conditions similar to N*zi concentration and labor camps. Why do I have to feed these monsters who committed inhumane crimes against me with my taxes? While subjecting innocent animals to so much torture as test subjects, why aren't we using these criminals instead? At least we would have these strict laws and so that crime rates would drop drastically while the ones who will commit such crimes would know and be aware of the consequences they will take with it

Because our government is almost hopelessly corrupt. All they want is bigger government, more power and more of your money. Spending your money is economic. Spending someone else's is mostly virtue signaling and mostly unaccountable.

Ever thought about the fact that 95% of prisoners are getting out of prison at one point in the future?

Recidivism rate United States: 68 %.
Recidivism rate Germany: 34 %.
I wonder, why...

Our constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

There are some who deserve this treatment, but if they are ever going to be released back into society we have to have some element of forgiveness and rehabilitation.

Because you are supposed to be pretending you are a civilised human being.
