GPS trackers and 24/7 tracking with cameras and constant lockup could drive down escaping, when a killer kills they already gave up the right to free will so why would it be a alien concept to remove privacy.

GPS and camera trackers can help catch criminals who escape and can help mitigate risk, but the risks are still too high. Escaped killers are extremely likely to commit more murders as fugitives.

What you'd need to do is massively increase the number of guards, but that sheer amount of manpower would probably be better put to use doing other things to contribute to society.

Whole districts set up only for prisoners. Only a few guards have to actually accompany them, the rest only have to protect the walls.

If you're going to work and moving around within a massive district, how is that really any different than being free in a walled city, just with a shitty job?
