Why Have Jails if You Don't Use Them?

I'm sure anybody who's watched any kind of news in the past week would have seen the footage of the feral creature who stole the purse of a poor bloody 92 year old woman shopping at Chermside last week. The scum-bag has handed herself into the police. Now get this.

At the time of the robbery, she was serving a suspended sentence for a second crime, was on probation for a third, and on bail for a fourth.

That's right - this parasite has a history of doing this kind of thing. And the response of our weak-arsed judiciary in Queensland - let the creep out again, and again, and again. If you're not going to do anything about these creatures, why arrest them in the first place? Such habitual offenders are never going to learn from their mistakes. They'll simply continue to abuse society and innocent people around them, so long as they continue to escape any of punishment whatsoever. Screw rehabilitating these parasite. How about protecting the rest of society from this type of scum instead? Or isn't that acceptable to the pro-PC, wishy-washy, bleedling heart, left-wing socialist wankers running Queelsand's government?
