I think a lot depends on the crime.

Expecting to rehabilitate a genocidal mass murderer isn't the same as some 18 year old who's smashed a few too many windows in with bricks because his mother has a heroin habit (or whatever).

In terms of Saddam Hussein, I viewed it as punishment. In terms of pedophiles, I'd like it to be rehabilitation, but I think a lot of the time it is used to keep the public safe. In terms of murders, I think it depends on the crime. Manslaughter should be punishment, but murder should be keeping them locked up to keep us safe.

It's not really the kind of question you can define, as there are many different laws for us to break (yahwe spent years learning ALLLLLL about them for us!) and different degrees of breaking them.
