Possibly? I always heard it as "better to let 10 guilty people go free than to punish one innocent man", which suggests that there is a reasonable exchange rate

Possibly? I always heard it as "better to let 10 guilty people go free than to punish one innocent man", which suggests that there is a reasonable exchange rate.
The problem with putting really horrible people in prison for life is that they victimize other prisoners. Prison isn't hell because of the guards.
- progman32 6y agoI'm not sure that saying establishes an exchange rate. As phrased it at best establishes a lower bound. I suggest there's solutions to the prisoner victimization issue that don't involve the death penalty.
