You could do this more efficiently by putting the nonviolent ones in a separate facility that is far less secure, more like army barracks. The incentive would be if they become violent, or escape, they go to the violent prison.

This is exactly the system in the UK, low security prisons for fraudsters and the like. Usually convicts do a stint in a high security prison at the start, to see if they are going to be a good boy, and to give them a taste of what it's like if they aren't.

I think you're describing the current system. There are multiple prison levels.
