Bit of reductio ad absurdum here but would life in prison be a reasonable punishment for someone's third offense running a stop sign?

We could use your reasoning and arrive at that conclusion.

I've had things stolen from me in the past and it stinks. Still, if someone stole $750 worth of my tools and was sentenced to life in prison for it, I would actually advocate for a lesser sentence for them.

If I knew it was their third offense and they had not been involved in any type of armed robbery I'd be fine with a year or two. After that they just become institutionalized anyway.
