OK, we've caught the perpetrators, spent a lot of taxpayers' money on keeping them in prison, then pushed out, mostly unable to work (except low-paying jobs), almost inviting them to do some worse offense just to feed themselves.

How did all that help restore the ruined patch of land?

Deterrent for others. Weed farming is lucrative, even large fines wouldn’t be a large deterrant.

Ruining a person's life is not a good deterrent.
