For example, we don't need to give somebody a life-long sentence for a crime that they're obviously and apparently not going to repeat again. We have to take into consideration relative changes.
An obvious example here is the ongoing case with Danny Masterson, a crime that was committed 20 years. He's now a family man and a father. It makes no sense to give him 30 year in prison. That is just cruel. Our justice system has failed, not only him, but also his family - like his daughter, who will now grow up without a father. What good does that do???
We have to become forgiving and tolerant as a society, things are becoming desperate.
But you sure know capitalism, and corporations, abuse the goodwill of hoverents, local and national, and communities. You just want to be ultra edgy for some reason.
