I have a better proposal: How about we take a look at the reasons why the criminals decided to commit criminal acts in the first place and make sure that those reasons won't tempt the criminal to return to a criminal life after releasing them?
If a person sees a criminal life as the most beneficial way of making a living, chances are that mere punishments won't change those views. It might work for the lazy people who won't educate themselves/try to find a decent job despite having the possibility, but the problems are often much deeper than that.
