Do you think the same logic applies to prisons? e.g. If the state imprisons one innocent person than it is as bad as a kidnapper who abducted an innocent person

- netizen-936824 6y agoAbsolutely.
- Brian_K_White 6y agoYes. But it would not be any kind of "gotcha" anyway. A remediable error is different from an irrecoverable error.
- ALittleLight 6y agoIt's not a remediable error though. You can't give someone back the X years you incorrectly imprisoned them. If you don't discover the error you won't fix it. If the person dies while incarcerated from disease, suicide, or violence (all more likely in prison than outside) you can't undo it. All you can do is stop future punishment, not undo past unjust punishment.
