Seems like the appropriate place for a non-violent offender.

  money that is stolen from the public at a certain point is really damaging, especially when people think they can get away with it. some non-violent offenders definitely need to be put into the same prison as violent ones

  I suppose it is only non-violent on the surface. What if the stolen money could have been used to strengthen the healthcare system or improve citizens’ lives in other ways?

  I certainly don't want him sent somewhere violent, but the life in prison for financial crimes is generally less harsh, when comparing experiences not reasons for imposition, than life in prison for other things. Also, just off the top of my head I would expect many people getting life in prison for other things are younger than people getting life in prison for financial crimes, since financial crime tends to happen between mid 30s to mid 40s and violent crime tends to happen in teens and twenties. Assuming that the reason for skewing financial crime higher, because needing business connections and experience to pull off, holds with the size of crime without an stats to back me up I will say my naive expectation is the financial crimes that earn you life in prison would tend to be in the 50s, while the violent crimes mainly remain teens and twenties.

    Obviously I don't mind anyone proving me wrong by going and doing the actual statistics work that I can't be bothered to do. I just have suppositions that I have not bothered to confirm as they do not significantly impact my life whether correct or incorrect.
