Well, actually, if ... as current research shows, the brains of criminal psychopaths are significantly different than normal brains, it raises the question of "moral culpitude" legally speaking.
Dr Eagleman (U of Texas ... se his TED talk) thinks the legal system must be reformed. (And you can dump "free will" as the trash it is).

Okay, I will now do that. Up until now the following things have been true:

1. Trey Parker was involved with Team America: World Police.
2. Everything I have ever seen that Trey Parker was involved in I have enjoyed immensely.
3. The topic of "Team America: World Police" was Islam.
4. I did not care about Islam.

Now I know that I care about Islam and it is the thing that makes watching the Team America: World Police worth it.

Although there are the religious wars and what not. But on the small scale level it seems to have done something.

Is a just hell better than a just prison?

The interesting thing is that as scientists work toward extending people's lifespans one of the questions that has popped up concerns the punishment of extreme criminals. Some people have been sentenced to hundreds, or even a thousand years, in prison. So the question is if lifespans can be increased to those extreme limits should such prisoners be incarcerated for those number of years?

They are also working on methods that give the illusion of a person having served such lengthy sentences. So in effect we will create our own hell on Earth for some people.

Maybe that has to do with the Christian philosophy of eternal damnation and punishment and even lifetime chattel slavery. The criminal justice system in the old days was heavy on immediate physical punishment. When a person did something bad he was put in the stocks, whipped, tarred & feathered, branded, or even executed. No one was interested in locking people up for years on end. That's even true today in some of the muslim and European countries. The maximum prison sentence in Norway is just 21 years.

Once the American Christians gained power they thought that prison sentences would be more humane. So they built jails and prisons all over the land. Now the prisons are part of private enterprise and are operated as profit centers for investors. They demand a certain occupancy rate. So everything imaginable is becoming illegal that requires some time in jail or prison.

There's no incentive to release people from prison because the States have to pay a penalty if the prison occupancy rates fall too low. So once they get prisoners as inventory they want to keep them for as long as possible.

You can bet that if people could live for hundreds or thousands of years there would be millions of prisoners serving 500 to 10,000 year prison sentences in America.
