Bill: The Sensible Justice Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Logarchic Philosophical Front
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 3998
Description[?]:
Another way in which the Hobrazian state may be made more sensible is through justice. The death penalty, while a valid form of punishment, is simply too final to apply to all crimes. We prefer instead that prisoners do manual labor as prison punishment. That way, we may spend less on menial tasks like building works and road management, and instead have prisoners do such labor. Also, with regards to duelling, it is an excellent way to bring about execution for those who deserve it. Instead of just being killed without an interesting climax, perhaps a duel or gladiatorial fight should take place. That way, executions may become a public spectacle rather than being a simple death. Do remember that executions are broadcast - perhaps, for the populace, it would be better to bring back duelling and gladiatorial fights. |
