[The Architect Of Fate]

The brain is a living organ just like your hands. If you cause a permanent  to it then the person ceases to function probably:

Your hand isn't an organ and that's a extremely unscientific view of trauma

In America alone, spending on keeping that organ away from permanent traumas & stigmas reached 225 billion $ in 2019 !!
Still, it is a society full of psychopaths and their mental health showed what level of apathy it reached in my civilization's encounter with them in 2003! the Japanese told similar stories of utter psychopathy about their ancestors.

Utter nonsense 

To each their view; but you can ask an African parent who got their daughter raped and killed about where they would prefer her attacker to be trailed: a country where they would be imprisoned for life -with a chance of parole- or an Islamic country where they would be hanged probably.

Then they have a backward and stunted view of justice based on emotions, not facts. It's a fact retributive justice doesn't lead to peace or closure but Restorative justice could

What part of "No. Fucking. Exceptions." did you not get, Winter?

Two wrongs do not make a right.  Imprison a criminal to keep them from harming someone else, yes.  Physically maim them, no.  To do so is a crime in itself.

Yup in every way Restorative justice is PROVEN to be superior by every metric that matters
