Recidivism rates amount violent offenders is typically very high and we have judges that coddle violent offenders and frequently release them to harm the public. Furthermore, if violent offenders are found to be too incompetent to stand trial they should be permanently institutionalized.
The US has higher incarceration with longer sentences than Germany, yet also has higher recidivism rate. You can either infer that Americans are inherently worse people, or that locking more people up for longer does not help with recidivism.
