I wonder what criminals would do if the penalties for violent crime included castration and/or amputation?

Sure that’s cruel and unusual, but isn’t lighting up some dude in front of his kids the same?

This is the argument for the youth act extending to 25. Maybe older folks now with the code reform. I think people like to confuse impulsivity with a lack of moral reasoning capacity
