So for you, the removal of you from your family and surroundings proves to be a deterrent, but for many it does not.
As for re-hab, you can go into prison and get your further education at no cost.
Re-hab also needs lots of staff and commitment from not only the prison authorities, but the prisoners.
You cannot rehabilitate someone who does not wish to change their ways.
Why work for the things you need if you can steal them and get free bed and board.
