What you mean "We" ??

Actually it was the solution in many societies and you might consider what 'prison' effectively is...

Ryan wont just murder the people as many countries in history have done (he's a rather poor 'tyrant' then, no?). He cant let them go to the Surface to tattle on Rapture. The criminals have show their disregard for societies laws (minor offenses there probably are fines or limited term incarceration to disuade further lawbreaking - not really mentioned in the game...). So he needs to put them somewher ethey wont bother the law abiding citizens, hence - exile.

Ive already said that "Fontaine's" seems temporary, but is still inadaquate or badly done (the plot might have been more interesting if it WAS done more properly).

Investigations and legal proceding probably would be slow and apprehending all Fontaine's criminal collaborators may have taken some time (2 months might be a bit long for many to be caught and have to be housed somewhere).

Contrary to your assertion, Persephone wasnt just thrown together (and with the Civil War starting isnt it likely it was in place before ??   It may have been more a consolidated jail AND a psychiatric institution (asylum) for all the people effected by ADAM which HAD been going on for years already  (contrived that it SHOULD have had effect for years driving people insane and deformities... but there was no major city press denouncements to limit the publics use -- but that would break the storyline they created.

Anyway Fontaines gang and other suspects probably flooded that facility too (wouldnt the worst ones be put in the free cells in Persephone and the light weight offenders be in Fontaine's ?? (more convenient  illogic).  No excuse for not searching the whole place top to bottom (being one of Fontaines known hangouts) to remove weapons/food/Plasmids/Eve and to properly place security and to properly supervise it - thats just plain dim no matter how 'temporary' it was to be.

Suggestions have already be made to at least mention corrections to those dates (seperate explanation from the 'canon') that would have them make more sense and offer commentary about some of the event that cause contradictions.
