Nobody deserves to have their life ruined, no matter the crime. Doesn't matter if it's mass murder or whatever you come up with: I do not believe vengence is justice, rather mercy is best. Institutionalization (for mental health) for [X] years works wonders, small fines also work fantastic, and is all far better for society than destroying somebody's entire life. Just my belief.

I've got questions about a lot of what you said, but I'll restrict myself just to this passage. So, just to be sure I understand you correctly, if a gang leader or mob boss sells drugs, traffics kids, and guns down a dozen people for opposing his organization, but he isn't clinically insane, just completely immoral, it would be morally wrong to lock him up in prison. He should be able to just pay a fine?
