Locking up criminals should be for the benefit of society at large. People can change, sure, but the state can't change a person's heart in a reliable fashion. It can only make the path of crime painful and isolate those who choose it from society.
For instance, toleration of robbery only leads to more robbery, as long as the robber suspects that he'll benefit on net. From the victim's perspective, it's an easy wrong to make right, though. The victim just wants their property back.
