No. It's not an appreciable deterrent to crime, does not offer any really understanding of the issue, and offers nothing in regards to rehabilitation. It's a poorly thought out guttural reaction to crime, and not something that offers society a solution of any real value.
(of course, by the same token the privatization of prisons is pretty much in the same boat...)
I prefer beating to jailing as a punishment for both humanitarian and incentive reasons. I think the long-term damage of jailing is significantly worse than a physical beating. I also think that the sort of people that commit the majority of crimes tend to respond more to immediate, easy to understand incentives than they do to things that have long-term effects - there's are not people with low time preference.

It is effective. Even with that I am not sure it is something that we should use as a form of punishment.

Long term prison certainly degrades a persons mind and behavior to the point that most can't rejoin society in any meaningful way. Knowing that upfront means all long term imprisonment is really a life sentence.

I think a lot of people would take the 10 strikes and imediately change or regret their choice after the first or second strike.
