A Japanese court has found a U.S. Marine guilty of sexually assaulting a woman on Okinawa, sentencing him to prison terms, in a case that has triggered anger and safety concerns on Japan’s southern island with a heavy American troop presence

Japanese prisons are not a good time
Asian prisons in general are not forgiving to inmates from the same country, imagine being a lone foreigner there. He’s fucked
He should have thought about that before raping someone.
That being said, I’m not in favor of non-rehabilitory prisons in general. I prefer the Nordic model for prisons, whers they’re isolated from society, but still treated like people.
Some assholes don’t even deserve that. At least rapists and murderers deserve whatever they get imo
Don’t expect people to respect the sanctity of your body if you won’t do same for others.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Wrong, an assailant has a maximum of two eyes to lose, they could at most completely blind one victim or partially blind two victims before being rendered blind themselves, which would make it extremely difficult to take a third eye from anyone
You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Not if retribution is purely transactional. It’s not like rape can be accidental, nor premeditated murder.
Ah, premeditated, now there’s a qualifier missing from the original post. I’d argue some very narrow types of “murder” (as it appears in legal definitions of what you’d be charged with) should not come with a death penalty, and some edge cases not much punishment at all.
Like the most innocent forms of manslaughter, like where someone dies as a result of noone’s fault but just terrible circumstance. Such as a traffic accident where noone was being a shithead. Or cases of honest self defense where the other person wasn’t stopping their pursuit. Or cases of prolonged domestic abuse causing someone to finally snap.
Yeah, my bad for not including that in the original comment, but that’s what I meant
It’s alright, qualifying everything fully is a huge PITA. There are two sides to the “don’t assume” thing.
