I have long held that we do not have the capacity, via the human justice systems, to deal in any effective way with perpetrators of heinous crimes. Vengeance is most likely not possible and usually unsatisfactory for those who seek it; societal and individual reconciliation for heinous crimes, such as serial murder and rape, is also impractical. That leaves us with few options. Extended periods of imprisonment do not bring about restitution or reconciliation of such matters. Life long sentences are simply extended death sentences, as we hold people in a cell until they die. In some cases these individuals actually see the structure of the penal system to be more beneficial that struggling to make things work in an open society...so again, how is justice served in either case? The type of incapacitation you recommended could hardly be considered humane. That leaves us with banishment or death as a consequence. Both are resolute but banishment requires a destination for the banished that guarantees we are free from responsibility and entanglement with them permanently. No physical territory is available for this option. Best Regards, Gem
