I don't think just putting someone in prison works. When I was in prison, and I assume it's the same today, there were really no attempts to get prisoners counseling. You had to be an addict to get help and many did not fit into that. Most have violence and anger issues, many suffer from ptsd and other childhood traumas that are unresolved. Very few had a total 'criminal thinking' mindset and just wanted to live a life of crime. Most crimes were of passion or opportunity and bad decision making. Most criminals are coming out of prison within 10 years, and I am shocked that communities are not working harder to get these people reintegrated. Instead more laws are created limiting the work a felon can do, and a felon is forced to carry that label for life, regardless of what they have done in the years and decades after. Society will keep doing the same thing and expect a different result each time. Many reading this will recognize that as insanity.
