Then what is the alternative? Simply forgiving crime is not the answer. Failure to prosecute allows criminals to continue to roam the streets. Prop 47 has directly led to more theft and car break ins, because there is no penalty for those crimes in CA.

There are a variety of restitutions many of them more effective and less societally costly than mass incarceration. I think financial crimes deserve financial consequences, incarceration being to high a societal burden and too destructive in these instances.
