Problem I see with two types of prisons is that often drug related crimes/violence can be intertwined in the grand scheme of things. I can also see wealthy criminals buying their way into the easier of the two.
That being said, I'm all for the scared straight approach. The idea behind prisons should be punishment, not tax dollars paying for a criminal to have a place to eat and sleep.
