Nonetheless, if a person is not responsible for the acts they commited, I still don't think imprisoning them is just. Example would be someone who is innocent by reason of insanity. Of course, if you think no one is responsible for the acts they commit because they don't actually have free will, then it would seem everyone would fall under the category of innocent by your standards.
The problem is that we have an imperfect justice system. It works most of the time, certainly, but there are those instances where it doesn't.
Also, it is most imperfect in how it favors those who spend the most money to earn the freedom from the justice they deserve.
