yup, As a society we have to decide if the "justice system" is about retribution, or protection. A society that leans heavily on retribution, as most do, is always going to be unhealthy. If a person is dangerous, they belong in some sort of restrained living condition. If a person has done bad things, giving them excessive punishment because "they really deserved it" is silly.
