<<I am sorry..........but few criminals are deterred by a time spent in jail. I believe what will prevent banks for pulling another stunt like they did in the aught years is their own self governance [prompted by the Great Recession] coupled with close gov't oversight.>>

Tejek, I cannot follow your logic.

If jail time doesn't work as well as fines for bankers then what about murders, robbers, rapists, robbers, mortgage loan officers who engage in blatant fraud, killing people when drunk, etc.

Should we just fine these people as well instead of putting them in jail.

And if not, what is the difference?
