That's something you've said that many might see a chink in: Someone who is haunted by their own guilt, right?Norsefire said:A man who tortured others is tortured forever
You aren't actually advocating that a state carry out some ritual (of gruesome, painful and bloody punishment, like in medieval times) in the name of "retributive" justice...? The idea there being that the knowledge of death being the wages of "sin", is then sufficient unto the day, for the deterrence thereof? (A long disproved, but obviously not discarded theory)
P.S. The modern "corrective" paradigm asserts that inmates aren't in jail to be punished (with punishing punishments), the fact they're in jail is the punishment: so it's about dealing with loss of freedom (but not much else).
