A moral society?

What is justice?

With the parole of Leslie Van Houten, the topic comes up. What is the purpose of incarceration, revenge and retribution, or removal from society, and rehabilitation?
Ask yourself some hard questions. Don't be shy about not knowing the answers. This is a very wicked problem. Yet I urge you not to react, on emotional instinct.

No one is asking for forgiveness of such a hideous crime. But ask instead at what point does incarceration reach diminishing returns.
