No, punishment is an integral part of the justice system.

Actually, I agree with this. Punishment should be part of the system. It shouldn’t be the only part of the system.

The present US correctional system is pretty much only punishment, and punishment is also excessive.

Massive reform is needed in a system where people who get out of prison are often trained professionals in being criminal _because_ of their time in prison.

That’s nuts.
