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.

I'm no criminologist so it would be lame for me to speculate.

However:
I have read that being incarcerated merely teaches some criminals how to be more successful (efficient?) criminals.

I've read that recidivism rates are substantial.

My DA relatives have spoken frequently about3 strikes system failures.

So... I would disagree with your premise unless you back it up with solid data that refutes what I've read and heard from my DA relatives.
