Yeah, that's hideous. One of the nastiest things is we talk about "justice" in that context, but that's not what justice is about. Justice is about the idea that people are treated fairly and properly.

I try to think about criminal prosecution as mostly being in the realm of quarantine - we have the right to protect ourselves - and if rehab is possible, okay, good. That makes it about us serving our interests, meaning it's expected we bear the costs. But the idea of our just protecting ourselves isn't popular. People are big into vengeance now.
