Absolutely this. They do this for some animals that can't be tamed out of aggressive behaviours, (who usually got that way because of severe trauma of some kind), like bitey horses might not be euthanized but instead placed in their own sanctuary where they can just live calmly while not hurting other horses. And in Norway, they've got this all figured out. They don't treat criminals with abuse. Their prisons are hospitable and comfy, and provide the care needed.
Feral cats don't get punished for not being able to integrate with the human world. We accommodate them by letting them live in a way that suits their needs. We leave them alone (but if there's too many neuter and spay them is a good idea), or if we decide to house them, we let them live as barn cats where they are more comfortable.
