At least he smells good

Joseph Mingolello was just trying to be a better person through hygiene.
Unfortunately, the 58 deodorant sticks he secreted under his clothing were not paid for when he departed the Ocean State Job Lot store.
Police identified him via surveillance tapes and arrested him for the $188 theft.

Old punishments are new

In ancient times (when I was young) part of most punishments was the shame factor.
Having people know you have done wrong and got caught is embarrassing and, even today, people don't enjoy public humiliation.
One young man who got caught shoplifting at a Halloween Express store made a deal with the owner to avoid police involvement by dressing as Bert (from Sesame Street) and standing out front with a sign explaining that he is a shoplifter.
The story covers other offenders made to wear signs proclaiming their guilt in public places.
I am betting they will be much less likely than the average criminal to re-offend.
