I wouldn't say uniformly. certainly there are millions for prison abolition. And then a more moderate group of 100's of millions of people for prison reform who to varying degrees agree with me. I do think the majority are more for retribution typically the dumber they are( many exceptions, not a direct correlation, etc) .
In the movie harrison bergeron , and the short story by ray bradbury, the dumbed down people decide to fight crime by killing people for parking violations and other minor crimes. There are many countries moving back to draconian punishments, castration, murder, torture etc at the moment and I think it is barbaric.
