I think a lot of people also don't make a distinction between punitive and rehabilitative justice. Do I want to punish people? No, the threat of punishment seldom deters people (there's even that saying, it's better to ask forgiveness than request permission). I don't care about punishing people, I care about having a better society. Helping people who've done wrong fix their mistakes and be better citizens is what I care about. If punishment did that, then sure, let's do it, but it doesn't. People need to get past their need for vengeance, whether dressed up as justice or laid bare.
