The crime thing is not there for reality... It is there to remind honest people that they did something wrong.
Like reality, jail and prison is just to please the others around you. It is not there to do anything functional for you. The illusion is that society is better/safer with some form of petty enforcement. (It is truly there, so people can justify paying $100 in security taxes, seeing that $1 was spent in security. Punishment only works on honest people... Thus, the reason it fails... on dishonest people. Like DRM, it only hurts the ones who support it.)
