Why aren't innocent people be put in jail cells instead of guilty people?

Question

This is the way God wanted it actually, right? Adam and Eve were imprisoned in a beautiful white-collar type jail called "The Garden of Eden" where they had everything they wanted.

When Adam and Eve sinned and when Cain killed Able, he was released from the white-collar jail and forced to live in the open desert, right?

So why can't we have a jail for all innocent people and those who commit a crime live in anarchy outside the confines of the jail?

Answer 1

we are actually guilty until proven innocent . go to a jail and see how many have been in there 6-8 moths still awaiting a trial . and haven't been charged , you have to prove you are innocent before you get out . if innocent till proven guilty they could stay home till court .  

Answer 2

there are way more innocents than criminals its easier to confine the criminals

Answer 3

Because in this country (USA) you are innocent until proven guilty.  So going by that logic everyone is presumed innocent who is in jail awaiting trial.  

Answer 4

because people who commit crimes don't deserve to be with the rest of the world, they deserve to be separated from all of us.  

Answer 5

Garden of Eden was not a jail, and real jail is like the desert.  You are confused about the definition of freedom.  Freedom is not having a big space to walk around in.  Contrary to popular belief, in prison there is a lot of space to walk around in, the yard, ect...losing freedom encompasses a lot more.
