Look to the nation of El Salvador.
In 2015, El Salvador had the highest homicide rate in the world: 103 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. Last year, its rate dropped to 7.8. This year, it's on pace to hit 2.6.
Gee. That's really good! So how......?
Bukele's one weird trick to cut his country's homicide rate by 97% was to round up his criminal class, and put them in giant jails.
About 40,000 total capacity. Life sentences, no parole.
BadaBing, BadaBang, BadaBoom.

Every would-be despot knows that the quickest way to despotism is to promote anarchy: The reason is simple—anarchy is insupportable. Anarchy is the state of nature; civil society and the rule of law is designed to end the state of nature and the anarchy that makes human life “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Almost any rule is preferable to the state of nature and anarchy. People will choose any rule—even despotism—to prevent anarchy.
