What Good does Prison do?

So they accidentally ran someone. Explain why they should suffer for that.

Where did the whole idea of Punishment come from?

well, there's this whole law that says you can't drink and drive. you'll get thrown in jail for that alone, but to go ahead and run over someone? your looking at some serious time.:f6:

the idea of punishment is, someone does something bad, something their not supposed to do. they get a punishment, so that next time, they won't do it, knowing the same thing will happen again( a punishment), or second time around, something worse.
