In other words, we expect crime to cease, given enough punishment.

Nobody expects that in the general sense; only in the specific. If the
Bible is
to be believed, we've had crime with us since the second generation of
man. Even
back when God himself was levying the punishments, it didn't go away.

Punishment alone doesn't always work, true enough.

However, I'm probably the wrong person to talk to about rehabilitating
criminals, as I have no patience with dishonorable people.

I've always subscribed to the "life imprisonment without parole" school of
criminal justice for virtually every major crime.

Which of the unlimited crimes would you consider major?

Murder? Robbery? TAx "evasion"? Cutting the weeds on your "wetlands"?
Improper paperwork?

I hope you're not on jury duty when I roll into the court.... :~)
