    i worked at a prisonlink centre for my internship in ite, and remember speaking to an officer. he told me that a lot of people commit crimes on purpose because they dont have the basic necessities for living (roof, money etc) and so they do such crimes to return back to prison where they have a place to sleep, free medical treatment etc

      They do that and do it often enough then they will lose their grip on the population and the country even faster. Sometimes do too much suppression will backfire and hasten one own destruction instead. Correcting the wrongs and imperfections in a country is the only effective way to stay in power and not by tryanny instead.
