Questions of profit motivation aside...I think that some people fear that if we weren't "tough on crime" there would be a hell of alot more of it. I don't know whether or not that's true but ti seems to be based in a grim view of humanity regardless.
I would say that we probably don't have the means to determine a persons level of contriteness. If we did cut em loose on that basis, I'm sure that everyone who got pinched for killing someone would be very, very sorry and all that, lol.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
