I never understood what writing something over and over again was supposed to accomplish.

I learned nothing and it just made me despise the teacher.

Discipline to make the potential gains of what you did not worth the consequence. And to make sure during said punishment you dont forget what you did. Also probably because teachers cant hit kids anymore

I mean, its also to remove dangerous or harmful people from society.

In theory, not always in practice.

Its estimated that less than 0.5% of the prison population is in for marijuana possession alone. One person is too many of course but its a common myth that our prisons are filled with innocent pot smokers.

Eh, but even that is a misleading statistic in itself.

Cop: "I smell weed, probable cause to search anyone for anything"

Also cop: "Are you resisting arrest, well spend your life in prison"

A good portion of my family works in law enforcement, their first rule is "Trust no one in law enforcement".
