Deterrence is a very legit reason. At least make the rational actor part evaluate if the crime is worth the risk and time spend in jail.

Now part of this group should be able to reintegrate. If they are given a reasonable chance, but it feels that entire other part of system is build on this never happening.

Doesn't that become a transactional approach. "If I rob this bank I have a 50% chance of getting away with $1m and 50% chance of going to jail for 5 years, that means the value is $200k/year"

It is, just like fines are. I have x% chance of getting caught and the cost is xxx. Do I want to follow the rules or break them.
