I disagree. When you look back through history there has always been crime. There are places where they cut your hand off for stealing and yet there are still thieves. There were times when people were flogged, crucified, beheaded, burned at the stake and all sorts of other crazy, inhuman things for various crimes and there were still criminals.
If we just took a bunch of prisoners and dropped them on an island who is to say they would end up fighting to the death? Would there be some violence? Likely yes, but more likely they would create some kind of society for themselves. The only way I could see them fighting to the death is if we forced their hand in some way (IE only giving food to the winners) and when you start doing that kind of crazy shit I think the general public would be pretty turned off to it and demand a change.
