Perfect justice must begin with absolute proof of guilt. This is often not the case, as evidenced by the many prisoners exempted by DNA testing. Punishment is meted out unfairly is one of the cruelest forms of torture. The desire to give innocence every chance to emerge, perhaps largely why our criminal justice system often bogs down with technicalities and loopholes. If a person is guilty of violent crime, what do we do? The first step in a rational approach is to decide whether we want to see violent criminals to be free to roam our streets. We could be "kind and understanding" and let them go after a little advice. But it does not prove that works. To be sure, we will all have to arm ourselves as a growing number of violent criminals roamed the streets.
If we are to protect us from these criminals, there are two logical choices:
1. We lock them away in a box six feet underground after executing them. The fairest way to do that killing is exactly the way they did to their victim. It is a permanent solution, secure and just, but it makes me uneasy, since there is almost always the question of true guilt.
2. We lock them away in a kind of safe institution. When I try to come up with a logical solution, the institution which would not be our current prison system.
The second option leaves room for the possibility of exemption of new exculpatory evidence. But if not prison, what? Criminals should be on the safe return work farms instead. There will Toil produce useful labor or goods to the community stands with the damage they have done. The victim's medical bills, lost work and deficiencies must be paid by the offender. In addition, all costs to society for studies, experiments, food and accommodation while in prison to be paid.(A big motivator for the culprits to admit it and reducing legal costs.) The time it takes for financial restitution would by and large dictates the length of time. For example, if you attack one another, crippling them so you get to spend any time necessary to earn money to take care of them. Those who take another's life, will replace their own lives with a lifetime of productive work to repay society and the victim's family.
Is it not an obvious solution? More prison with the community picking up the tab for police and legal work and maintenance of the criminals is nuts. Why should the victim and the community pay for the evil culprit?
How do you force someone in prison to work from his or her debt? Give them a choice. Either do it or go without food and shelter. It is the law works in nature, so why not apply it to humans?How do you maintain discipline in the house? Well, a hard day's work will provide a little energy for much more than the rest. At present, prisoners sitting in cells all day has nothing to do with their energy system more than misdemeanors. With my idea to them, which is a problem to get punished with an extension of their stay and work longer shifts.
This is a fair and equitable way to prevent crime and compensate for the damages caused by it.It has no potential for wrongfully killing each other, since time would be provided proof of innocence. And I do not speak Chain Gang here, but passable working and living conditions to the product of labor goes where it should be, the victims and society. U.S.
There is no better person to sober up and drain them of energy to think up nefarious deeds than a hard day's work. For juvenile offenders who have a stint in the restitution farms and then released, they will know what work is actually improving their CV, spread the word on the street that the crime means hard work and be motivated not to return. If they repeat offend, so society will not be the one to suffer. Criminals must be self-maintaining, even a profit center rather than an economic sinkhole.
Our current criminal justice system is not working. It is a large and unfair cost to society. For many it does not serve as punishment or deterrent. About three-quarters of all U.S. California
