What I felt was the uncanny (kỳ lạ) lived experience of contrapasso: that literary device -- famously employed in Dante’s Inferno -- where a sinner’s suffering mimics (bắt chước) the nature of her sin. Let the punishment fit the crime.
Let the punishment fit the crime say the family of a woman kidnapped (bắt cóc) and murdered in Johannesburg in 2004. 21-year-old student Leigh Matthews was abducted from the parking lot at Bond University, her naked body was later found dumped by the highway in Walkerville. She had been shot four times. The man convicted of her murder, Donovan Moodley is currently serving a life sentence at the Johannesburg Prison.
“The time is now to put the sentencing (kết án) power back where it belongs, in the hands of judges,” said Al-Tariq Witcher, a former inmate (bạn tù) who testified in favor of the bill last week. “The time is now to let the punishment fit the crime.”
As the adage goes, “let the punishment fit the crime.” With excessive (liên tiếp) sentence penalties, the punishment doesn’t fit — it is often unfair. For example, an Oklahoma woman was sentenced to life in prison for selling drugs to pay her son’s medical bills.
