"I don't want to live in a vengeful, vindictive or cruel society and I don't want anyone doing those things on my behalf. " It's not Vengeance if it's Justice.

It's not Vengeance if it's Justice.
What we could try to do is focus much harder on making sure that actual justice is carried out, not arbitrary things or mistakes.
- simonh 6y agoI think enhanced and cruel punishments imposed as a result of institutional failures, that have nothing to do with the crime or proscribed punishment, isn't justice either. Enormous resources are expended attempting to ensure fair trials and the system still fails regularly and often. Fixing one part of the system shouldn't dependent on fixing an unrelated part, we should I think try to do both.
- skinnymuch 6y agoI asked the other person. If it’s cheaper or same price to keep someone mostly isolated with decent accommodations including proper bed, clothing, fresh air, computer/tablet, radio, computer, [limited] tv and internet usage. Would you be fine with that? They still have to be alone. Justice is still being served. No sane person would want that life.
