The Soviets had this idea long before you. |

|
What might make this idea somewhat more original is if you put the polar bears and wolves *inside* the prison... |

Camping in Siberia... ah, the memories. |

But they've done nothing to deserve such treatment. Poor things! |

Dead people can't hurt anyone. No transportation costs, no worrying if they've found a way off the island, no guards to pay... Simple. Effective. |

This is so well baked that Heinlein wrote it as the plot of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." Joe-Bob says "Check it out." |
|

Heinlein also groks that imprisonment is a "wrongness". I'll have to pick up "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." Thanks, [ato_de]. |

Joe-Bob was a movie reviewer in the '80s. May still be around. Rated everything by the number of breasts and gallons of blood. If the nubers were high enough he would give it a "Check it out" seal of approval. This is not to imply that "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is all about blood and breasts, I was just using the old Joe-Bob reference because I've been watching "I love the '80s" on VH1. |

[UB] I'm not that generous. |

I myself have very high nubers. |
