Forgiveness is an internalized thing, you can forgive someone in your proverbial heart while at the same time not being in the slightest tolerant of their behavior.
As Sam Harris says, criminals still need to go to prison regardless of whether we forgive them or not. For the safety of others, for deterrence and for mitigating suffering. And detainment is a very effective and very necessary way to do that.
