>>1646When people commit crimes and hurt other people, they deserve to be punished. One of the more 'humane' ways to do so without permanent damage is jail. (Lol) It's a complicated situation, but without it we end up with village justice which is just gruesome.
Take a lot of villages in africa that invented "Tiring" Someone. If they think you have done something extreme and deserve death, they tie you up, place a car tire around your neck, pour gasoline on you, then light a match.
I think our way is a little more 'humane' compared to that.
