Justice Park Punishment

On Wednesday, we watched a short film about a felon being psychologically tortured for her crimes. I believe the punishment was justified because of the pain and terror inflicted on the young victim. The continuous repeating of the punishment is necessary, in my opinion, to re-enforce to the victim what she did. The film is based on a true story and I believe that if the atrocious incident were to happen again, most people would be in favor of the Justice Park. Capital punishment or a life sentence could not do enough justice for what the little girl went through. Besides, most of the punishment on the felon was psychological, so it wasn't a physical onslaught on her. The whole entertainment concept behind the Justice park idea is brilliant. The park serves the double purpose of discouraging future criminals to do the same or equally-brutal crimes. I believe many would-be felons would look at what happens to felons at the park and think otherwise about going through with their crime. Many may think that the felon was being brain-washed by her fiancĂ©, but I believe she was an evil human being to begin with. No matter how someone tries to justify it, there must be some evil quality in her inner psyche that allowed her to be an accessory to the crime.

  1. Although I do agree that she should be punished and that the punishment is fitting, it is really hard to say that the punishment should be continues. Even though she did deserve it she is still a human being, when would the punishment change into entertainment?

  2. i don't think that capital punishment or life in prison would change what the little girl endured, there is no punishment that would fit this crime. But the entertainment and torture of the perpetrators of the crime is also excessive and unnecessary. I don't think it really serves a purpose, except revenge. And if she is really " evil" nothing done to her will change this. I also think psychological torture is just as bad or maybe worse that physical torture.
