If there is no real penalty for being a career criminal, people will continue to be career criminals.

If someone knows they can rob people and get away with it, why would they do honest work for a living?

What is your solution to prevent crime without incarceration as a possible outcome for people breaking the law… especially those who do it repeatedly? It’s easy to talk down to solutions being used today, but without offering up a realistic alternative, this provides no value.
