It brutalises people and creates habitual offenders.

Most people aren't sent to prison until they already have a lengthy arrest record so when they finally find themselves behind bars they are already habitual offenders. If they find themselves back in prison after being paroled then it's quite obvious that they've chosen a life of crime and don't deserve to walk amongst us.
So whats the solution?
Kill them or bankrupt the economy locking them up?>
N.B. if you are referring to violent offenders (including burglars, car thieves etc) yes lock them up.
Lock up any one who is an actual threat of violence

We've got this island called South Georgia, way down in the South Atlantic, uninhabited by people, so we could take the offenders down there, drop them by parachute and then drop some supplies occasionally and just leave then to fend for themselves.
Virtually impossible to escape from there, provided there is an embargo on ships going there.
