You have to refrain from vigilante justice, it will only lead to more harm than good.I can see a justice system that allows for vigilantism only leading to tit-for-tat vigilantism and people effectively taking the law into their own hands and deciding themselves what is right and wrong, which will just make the justice system unfair.

As for rehabilitation vs just locking someone away, I agree some people should be locked away forever for some crimes, but in most cases rehabilitation works well. The Victorians hit on the idea that rehabilitation is an effective way to lower re-offending rates, and they were right.
