Rather than types, maybe those qualities are more like ends on a spectrum?

It's a very US thing to present issues as one side or the other, "Left or Right", "Capitalist or Socialist" with nothing between. In reality almost everything is on a (multi-dimensional) spectrum with a lot of nuance. This binary thinking is reinforced by TV and social media and is tearing the country apart.

Maybe even axes on a graph, where prisons strive to be on the Pareto front at different points.
