> When you start trying to equate a legitimate aspect of the judicial system with honor killings and lynching then it becomes apparent that you are not coming from a place of good faith.

I am not arguing that.

If you scroll back up and reread, I said that retribution that violates people’s human rights is not a legitimate form of retribution. Like my original argument, which was that it is wrong to throw autistic people in prison who do not have the mental capacity to have mens rea for their crimes, particularly when alternatives solutions are a better balance.

> Nor is it equivalent to honor killings, lynching nor torture -to say it is is misguided at best.

People argue for awful and inhumane forms of retribution all the time which are comparable to (or literally are) these, and is what I am referring to.

For example: the not uncommon sentiment that it’s okay or desirable for those convicted of certain crimes to be subjected to violence while in prison.

Are you suggesting that deterrents should be lesser than the crimes perpetrated ? If so, do you believe that we should start "investing" in criminal behavior as its perceived payoff is larger than the cost ?
