The way I see it, international statistics around recidivism rates are pretty conclusive. So at this point I have to wonder, is having punishments a higher priority than having lower crime rates, in our society?
For some, the punishment is the point. But I would say that given the choice between punishing people or having lower crime, almost everyone would take the lower crime rate.
If they would, then it's hard to explain why as a country we have chosen not to.
