What is your presumption about people who commit crimes? Are they:

        to be rehabilitated (this assumes that anti-social acts are
        acts of individuals who are not completely sane or normal by
        the standards of the society, but that offenders are
        potentially useful members of the society at large)

        to be punished (this assumes that anti-social acts are acts of
        responsible individuals who choose to be anti-social, and need
        to be punished [which in itself is also intended as a further
        deterrent if the offender is ever released from punishment])

For purposes of answering this question, do not assume the current
penal/correctional/mental-health system anywhere in the U.S.
