There will always be fractious individuals and they will come into conflict with other individuals.
It is those fractious individuals who are some of the most remarkable people I have met here. They are not easy people and they may not get on with others harmoniously. But any system should find a way to so something better than to just get rid of them and/or discourage them.
So what do you do?
Bob says (and I think he really means) that he does not block people for life, but it is so obvious when one of these individuals returns that they are so closely watched and given so little leeway.
I don't know. If you knew the answer to this you would know how to make groups work better.
There has to be a better model than the US penal system.
I'd go with Muffled's idea of very short blocks.
