Guilty or Not Guilty

I do believe that those people who have committed a crime should be punished. However, I do not believe that people who choose to do things that society may deem "wrong" should be punished. Excluding the things that society point out to be "wrong" such as to murder, steal, etc.. I don't think that people should be punished for choosing to do things differently In today's world, society does not really have any clue what is really right or wrong anymore. We, as a society, have somehow lost our judgement of what is actually wrong and what is right. We tend to find it rather difficult to affectionate what is wrong from what is right or from what is really wrong to what we think is "wrong". One example would be politics; in the world of politics, there will always be corruption within a government - big or small.

But perhaps if I did believe that all those that have done things that society considered "wrong" should be punished, I would punish them according to how extreme, as well as how morally wrong their crimes are. If I were to punish a murderer, I wouldn't murder he/she right away. Depending on what their motives are at first, I wouldn't murder them right away. It's because there are those who have committed murder, not because their intentionI would at least give them a second chance -  a chance for them to reflect on what they have done and whether they feel any feeling of remorse or regret for what they have done, I don't think they should be murdered.The same would go for other criminals who have committed other crimes. I would have some kind of a therapy for criminals who are willing to change for the better.

Punishment is still punishment, thus I believe that prisons are necessary. The time served in prison will vary depending on how serious the crime is.Obviously, the person that murdered a person will serve a much longer time compared to someone who has been caught driving under the influence. Just because prisoners are getting second chances doesn't necessarily mean that they are free to go.  and are able to do what they want again. They are required to serve jail time. If not, then what kind of a punishment would that be?

Also, I don't necessarily believe that a person who has committed a number of crimes should serve a lifetime term in prison. What I would do is each person will get 3 strikes; after the 3 warning, I think that they should serve a much longer time than the one they've served before. The more that they commit crimes, the more they jail time they'll receive. Though I do believe that a person who has committed a number of murders should be in person for a lifetime. I don't think prisoners should be released earlier than their original release date because i think if you choose to do criminal acts and get caught, you should be ready to face whatever consequences will be given to you . There are no easy way out in life, there are certainly no easy way out in prison.
