He should have thought about that before raping someone.
That being said, I'm not in favor of non-rehabilitory prisons in general. I prefer the Nordic model for prisons, whers they're isolated from society, but still treated like people.
Some assholes don’t even deserve that. At least rapists and murderers deserve whatever they get imo
Don’t expect people to respect the sanctity of your body if you won’t do same for others.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Wrong, an assailant has a maximum of two eyes to lose, they could at most completely blind one victim or partially blind two victims before being rendered blind themselves, which would make it extremely difficult to take a third eye from anyone
You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Not if retribution is purely transactional. It’s not like rape can be accidental, nor premeditated murder.
Yeah, my bad for not including that in the original comment, but that’s what I meant
