I did not conclude that. I agree that locking him up is a sure thing while he's locked up. - sano

Would you agree that getting locked up a few times while you are in your formative years and committing relatively less violent crimes, might steer you away from a life of more serious crimes. Ok, so we do that for his first ten felonies and it doesn't seem to be helping. So we get a little harsher for his next ten. But by the time he reaches thirty or forty, I say he has shown he is irredeemable and so forfeits his right to live among the innocent population. If a life sentence will prevent his next twenty felonies, that is a good trade off. Plus this may produce a deterrent affect on his criminal buddies who are still working on their first ten felonies.
