I'm happy with my tax dollars being used to incarcerate rapists and murderers, that's money well spent

So in your opinion 85% of the money spent on the prison system is wasted, since only 15% of the prison population consists of rapists and murderers?

I am open to the premise of not using incarceration for most nonviolent offenders. I don't support that in all cases (we're better off with Maddoff and Bankman-Fried in prison for life), but at least it's not an insane proposition.

The total elimination of prison cells is insane though. Such a proposal does not deserve to be humored.
