Sometimes "Justice" isn't so much about an eye for an eye, or even rehabilitation. For justice to truly work, the repercussions for violations need to be severe enough, and served swiftly enough, that it forms a deterrent to that behavior from other individuals. If the cost of being caught far outweighs the gain from the crime, there is little incentive in the activity. Granted, there will ALWAYS be those who will do as they please regardless of the price. These should receive the most vigorous sentencing and serve as a warning to those who MIGHT consider that course of action.
As far as rehabilitation goes, there will generally be relapses, often times multiple occasions. Change has to occur on the most basic level of who an individual is and that only comes with conviction of and repentence for the action.
Unfortunately, our society has deemed there to be no morals anymore and without that basic building block, laws become subject to whims, agendas, and personal attitudes. I would not be surprised if the judge in this case might have a little secret of their own. A person will likely pass a lighter judgement on an individual when they are also guilty of similar behaviour.

Which as far as I'm concerned means there shouldn't be much chance of him being let back into society. Yeah, rehabilitation doesn't actually happen in any justice system. I'm just saying it would be optimal. [/QB]
First we'd have to really find out why some people are sick child-rapist fucks- dirty work that few are doing.
I'm all for rehab for drug offenders and non-violent crimminals though: once asentene is served it should be done- not used to humiliate and limit a person socially/economicly.
That alone would drasticly reduce the recurrance rate of many crimes.

Tough to imagine, but this bitch is probably worse than mr. child-rapist.
She'll (hopefully) get a real jail sentence though.

There isn't a punishment harsh enough for someone like that. Sickening.

Well duh!? The council of elders must obviously sentence the daughter to a thorough stoning for being a harlot. The mother, now relieved of shame, may then marry her brother-in-law to make newer, better daughters. Dismissed. *bang* Next!
