A question for Christians that support prison as punishment. Why do you support prison as punishment for wrong doing? The Bible gives punishments that we are to use, and prison is not one of them.

I'm asking why Christians would believe in using prison as a punishment. It isn't prescribed by the Bible, so why do you think it is okay?
certainly the bible teaches and DOES punish violators of the Commandments and all of Moses' 613 laws - what would you prefer, be-headings or chopping hands off of thieves etc. ? prison is as old as civilization, just like the Bible
The tradition that 613 commandments (Hebrew: תרי"ג מצוות: taryag mitzvot, "613 mitzvot") is the number of mitzvot in the Torah, began in the 3rd century CE, when Rabbi Simlai mentioned it in a sermon that is recorded in Talmud Makkot 23b.
Show me where prison is endorsed in the Bible. I don't care what some rabbi says.

The Apostle Paul wrote that we should obey the governing authorities. To me that includes punishment for breaking the law.
Submission to Authorities
"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.…" (Romans 13:1).

Ezra 7:26 begs to differ.

why do you believe everything you need to know is in the bible?
Because the Bible says it is.
