Rehabilitation tends to be more effective at reducing crime though, I don't see much point in punishment for the sake of punishment

Its not punishment for the sake of punishment though, its punishment for comitting a crime.

Yes on the whole but I don't see the benefits for those on life-sentences, whom will literally live their last days in prison?

But yes to the rest.

Ah but 'tough' prisons just turn them into the University of Crime. No gain there whatsoever. You're only making hard criminals harder.
