Shipping people off to a 'super prison' that could be halfway across the country seems like it could cause issues as if someone hasn't got any support when they get out, what is to stop them falling back into whatever caused them to go to prison in the first place?

And yes I'm aware that this does happen now, but it must happen less than when they changes occur.
they would get a travel warrant home though they would not be expected to stay there
