Comments: In ancient Israel, there were no prisons. Punishment was either execution (for crimes like rape and murder) or restitution ( paying back several times over for theft or embezzlement). Everyone knew what the punishment would be and that it would be swift. Solution: You don't want the punishment? Don't do the crime. I believe a system like this would be just but next to impossible to put in place now that people don't know what punishment is.

I just don't see how a sane person can apologize and then shoot someone in the head? |
