Why do we punish criminals?

This has been touched on somewhat in a few other posts but I was hoping we could have a discussion on this.

Why do we punish?

To promote safety?

Deterring crime?

Rehabilitation?

Retribution?

I know any answer may include more than one but which one is the most important in your view. What do you think is a Biblical view of punishment?
