I understand the need to punish somebody... this is to learn, to provide an example for other would-be killers etc.
You also "punish" a child if it does something you do not want it to do. This is how they learn.
Being put on a nice tropical island with white beaches and a blue sea keeps people away from society, but will lead to more crimes commited, not less.
So, yes, I see why we lock people up (although we could do more in the area of personal development of prisoners, in order for it not to happen again).
I donīt see why, as you said, attemt is punished less than success.. or drunk driving with somebody killed more than without somebody killed.
