You know, IMO, deterrent doesn't even work chronic offenders. Some of them just DGAF -- it's basically part of the ritual, or the cost of doing business. For others, they are out of options. Crime is the only thing they know, and they don't have the mental fortitude to overcome that difficult barrier and build themselves a proper life.
Society should obviously have more sympathy towards the second group, but in our realistic world, the available resources will always be a limiting factor. At some point when a person has been given enough chances to redeem themselves, and they still don't, or is unable to do so, you just gotta pull the plug.
The difficult part is determining how many chances are enough chances. Currently, our Canadian system is basically running off a near-infinite number of chances, and people are fed up with that.
