Crime and Punishment

Does punishment reduce crime?

The answer seems obvious to most of us: Yes, of course punishment reduces crime. But if the United States, with so many people in prison, still have one of the world's highest crime rates, doesn't this imply that prison does not work? Others might say that punishment, though unpleasant and expensive, supplies the wrongdoer with a wish to improve. Even career criminals give up crime because they don't want to go back to prison.
