That's not far off, if it's not here already. I've definitely read articles somewhere making the argument, "Well, criminals don't commit crimes as much if we give them money, so we should have a tax-funded program to give money to convicted criminals to reduce crime."
It is indeed already here, at least on a very limited scale. I think it's San Francisco (of course), as well as a few other big Democrat cities (but I repeat myself), who pay a small number of criminals not to murder. I think SF is paying one or two dozen gangsters to not murder anyone each month.
