Re: Punishment vs Rehabilitation ¶
The problem with punishment versus rehabilitation is most judicial systems only ever punish criminals. I have ever only heard of one nation that does otherwise and has been having astounding success. Of course, there is a reason for this and it is as another Asgardian has said. The punishment of criminals has become a huge business in the West. So, rehabilitation which is harder and would cost way more than simply punishing them with at times ridiculously long prison sentences so it is not chosen as an option. Considering the dangers of the environment in which Asgardia is to be in. It is safe to say Asgardia should NOT have any capacity to house violent criminals under going rehab. Too many lives would be risked. Those types of criminals should be shuttled back to Earth to undergo rehab in an Asgardian facility and given the option to return home if they so choose when they are finished rehabbing
