I wasn’t saying it’s an invalid form of punishment; I’m saying that punishment is an invalid form of justice. The only reason to lock people up or execute them is so they are no longer able to cause harm. If there’s a better method than punishment (there often is), punishment is unjust.

I think we might be talking past each other. I was using punishment as synonymous with consequence , my bad. Still against the death sentence thou.
