There are different penalties for those who have committed crimes, according to the provisions of the Penal Code. The best purpose of punishment is to enable the offender to be rehabilitated. If not, it is necessary to make an example of others from committing crimes. But there is a punishment of life imprisonment, which has not been practiced in China in the past, and I know that foreign countries have long been in place. I don't understand. What is the purpose of this punishment? Obviously, the judge decided that he could no longer be a new person, so he had to spend the rest of his life in prison, and whether he could prevent others from committing crimes and prohibit him must have some effect. But it is also possible that this prohibition effect is a different case. What's going on?
Think about it, if a person intends to commit a crime, and it is intentional, what would he do if he knew that he would face life imprisonment in the future? One is to stop committing crimes, and the second is to choose to commit crimes thoroughly, to reap all the benefits that can be reaped, and to do all the bad things, because he knows that he will be found to be a lifelong person who cannot be a new person for life at the time of trial, so he has to do everything that a person can do before the trial, which is very terrible.
That's what I'm trying to say, life imprisonment is a punishment that is not just a physical punishment, but also a rather humiliating punishment. or the determination that the criminal can no longer be reformed into a good person, which is a subjective inference of a person, and cannot be ruled out; However, from the point of view of the role of crime prevention in prohibiting crime, this method treats people in the same way as animals. It's like whose dog bites someone and wants to be punished, and the owner is reluctant to kill it, and he doesn't dare to release it, so he is locked up in a dog cage for the rest of his life. For dogs, this kind of animal without IQ, although it is more emotionally intelligent, is still not the same attribute as human; But I still feel a little cruel and unreasonable to treat people the way dogs are treated.
Even if a big traitor like Wang Jingwei is arrested for assassinating the regent, it is said that "the knife is drawn into a fast one, and the head of the young man is not worth it." It can be seen that even if the Chinese die, they are still respectful, and it is really a shame for the Chinese to treat the crimes of the Chinese with the Western law of life imprisonment.
In terms of social value, does it make sense for prison guards to look after a person who has no social value and is imprisoned for life? The philosopher once said that man is the sum total of all kinds of social relations. From the moment a person is imprisoned for life, his social relations cease, and when he stops, he dies, in other words, is there still a need to exist? Of course, from the perspective of the market, he eats and drinks Lazar in it at public expense, which can also be regarded as investment to drive consumption and generate GDP.
Let's just say that, most of the amnesty in history occurred after the change of dynasty, maybe it is their gospel, of course, I hope that criminals, especially Chinese criminals, similar to this kind of life imprisonment, it is better to let them do it according to traditional Chinese culture.
That's all there is to it, welcome to follow, leave a message, and we'll see you next time.
