I’d agree, but only for crimes that aren’t fatal/serious enough. Deliberatly killing someone isn’t a thing society should forgive.

Counter question: Who wouldn’t benefit?

Keeping someone locked up for decades doesn’t solve a problem. It hides it. Some things can not be corrected and we need to come to terms with it.

If someone is causing such a massive problem, there ought to be a solution which isn’t letting people in the future deal with it after he is out of prison.

I’d argue that it was the same, but now it’s more efficient and optimized.

One of the pawns falls over, but we can’t hear it. So did the pawn fall over or not?
