reformative punishment

A quick definition of reformative punishment:

Reformative punishment is when someone who broke the law gets punished in a way that helps them become a better person. It's not just about making them suffer, but about teaching them to make better choices in the future. This kind of punishment is different from other types of punishment, like when someone gets sent to jail just to be punished. The goal of reformative punishment is to help the person change for the better.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reformative punishment is a type of punishment that aims to change the behavior and character of the offender.

Examples:

A person who is convicted of drug possession may be required to attend drug rehabilitation programs as part of their sentence.
A juvenile offender who committed a non-violent crime may be required to attend counseling or community service instead of being sent to jail.

These examples illustrate how reformative punishment focuses on rehabilitating the offender rather than just punishing them. The goal is to prevent future criminal behavior by addressing the root causes of the offense and helping the offender become a productive member of society.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
