Comment (Abdallah Salam): After I read your response Nico, I wondered whether you felt equally comfortable about the different available theories of punishment - desert/retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and correction - and if not whether this might be a useful starting point for you to determine what actual punishments you want to keep and which you want to reject. It seems that you think that some form of deterrence and incapacitation is good, at least sometimes, so maybe you want to keep the punishments that are based on these forms of justification but want to eliminate any "extra" punishment supported on desert/retribution or correction grounds? By the way, I just posted on the class webpage a few articles, two of which might be of interest to you: "Prison Planet" and “The high cost of calling the imprisoned” \ No newline at end of file
