Prisons would likely not go away, and idiotic convictions surely wouldn't. Whatever punishment scheme that ACism produces, stupid cases like this won't disappear. To blame statism for this is being intellectually dishonest.

Arbitration companies that made rulings completely at odds with the moral sense of the majority of the population would be quickly out-competed. You might have an argument in more borderline cases - but not in this case. Here we have a situation where the vast majority of people view the end result as ridiculous, this would not happen in a free market.

You may want to bring up the point that if a society as a whole is prejudiced in some way, these prejudices will be reflected in that region's arbitration systems. True. However, in that society the same prejudices will also be reflected by state policy as well, the difference being that the state entrenches the prejudice systematically and removes the market incentives to profit from the irrational social climate (and thus incentivise a trend away from bigotry).
