This sentiment would only apply to fictional people in fairytales. I.e. criminals break laws because they are themselves bad and good honest people would never require being imprisoned in the first place. In this hypothetical good/evil then maximum punishment for the evil makes sense. The problem is that real people are more complex than that and so the punishment you are proposing is not proportional to the crimes committed. I know its easier to not have to consider all the variables in every case and just proclaim “to hell with them all!” and call it a day but I hope that we are all not so desperate that we can’t take the time to think about the issues and make a balanced (but more complex) opinion.
All legal systems are inherently unjust and incapable of actually holding evil people responsible for their actions. Most people in jail don’t actually belong in there and, quite frankly, it’d be far more humane to kill anyone who actually does than to use them to keep the institution of slavery going.

Is this sarcasm or are you just a horrible person?
What an utterly despicable person you are, what the hell is this bullshit.
Lmfao at the mental gymnastics you’re using to make yourself feel better about slavery, as if rapists go to jail…
Are you implying that everyone with a prison sentence is a rapist who should be worked to death? ooof. big ooof
If genuine, you are drunk on schadenfreude.
