I don't personally think prisons are much of a solution, either.

Much crime comes from evils of private property such as poverty, homelessness, unemployment, and alienation. Other than that, such people can be restrained, put in mental hospitals, or maybe on deserted islands.

You seem to assume that third world areas cannot at all cope with crime, but some simple principles could be applied quite generally.

Grandpa h.
A prision is a restraint, and a deserted Island is a prison, but you'd have to make sure that they couldn't escape. And, a 3rd world area isn't going to be able to deal with its own poverty or homelessness, is it?
