For sake of argument, what alternative would you advocate? It doesn't seem just for there to be neither restitution nor punishment.



A sort of degrading, but non-lethal or permanent damaging punishment- something to please the inner monkey and then i would demand that every punishment be also taken by a innocent citizen in parallel. Without that- its just prison then reintegration into society..

After that i would remove the ability of the citizenry to influence the level of punishment, as this is a constant journey towards the death sentence with torture for all crimes no matter how petty.


I'm not sure that I follow your reasoning. How would inflicting a punishment on an innocent person be justice?
