It would seem incredibly hard to implement, but I doubt it would be politically unpalatable.

That's why I support the death penalty (quick, humane, without fanfare as per Alias's post) for inmates that interfere with others' rehab - bashers, rapists and standover thieves. We need to get rid of the incurables and incorrigibles so that prisons can become places where inmates who are not irredeemably damaged can reflect and work through the issues that put them there.
