I'd instead agree with keeping him away from society and during that time reconditioning the criminal's brain to make him a good person and make him contribute to society in a positive way. I think this is important.
Really? Not if he raped your mom or killed your sister? See, for me personally, if someone did that to someone I cared about, I'd consider them an evil fuck, and want them to burn at the stake.
That being said, I respect your statement, because you've shown that your view on free will can be applied to ideas about justice-- it's not completely useless after all.
Can you stop using sick examples like that? It provokes shitty intrusive thoughts, stop, seriously. They'd be an evil fuck, I agree. But it wouldn't be their decision ultimately and I can't blame them for being evil and even if I'd want the same thing as you do; burn them on stake, I still do not agree that it would be the correct thing to do.
