Americans favour punishment over rehabilitation.

I see no issue with this.

It doesn't provide us any benefits in terms of reducing crime.

Crime will exist regardless. Are you saying criminals shouldn't be held accountable for their crimes committed? That's not how justice works my friend.

Plus there's no guarantee that rehabilitation will be effective. Who says they won't relapse? Otherwise, a complete waste of resources.

Doesn't America have a very high recidivism rate? We're pretty awesome at making sure people relapse.

Which is what is prison is for.
If they get caught again, they'll have a "record" of it and the judge that "determines" his/her sentence will give that person a harsher sentence.
