What's your measurement for "it didn't work"? Where's your data?
Were you expecting all crime to magically vanish overnight? Social change takes time.
If you start working on the root causes of the problem, then things will gradually get better, as exampled below:

It works in other countries, why not here? Enough of punishment. More education. More treatment. More therapy. More identification of the causes, more elimination of those, rather than the futures of the people those factors create.
Exactly. Crime is a symptom of a deeper problem. Healthy, happy, and financially secure people don't turn to crime, because they don't need to.
You don't help people by throwing them in prison and punishing them for the smallest thing.
All that does is drive resentment towards "the system" and pushes the person further away from healthy society.
Yes, some people do terrible things and deserve punishment, but often, especially for petty crime, what they need most is help.
