What is the mechanism for locking up a criminal for life increasing crime rates?
A place like Singapore with really draconian sentencing and enforcement has pretty low crime rates.

The US has an incarceration rate 3x that of Singapore. We're already more draconian than your example.

We incarcerate people and then let them back out without reintegrating them well. Singapore just executes a lot of people. Singapore is definitely a more draconian legal system.
