Christian Justice System by LordReed(m): 8:18am On Jul 20, 2019
Based on how Christians think justice works, I like to propose an alternative justice system. It will decongest prisons and provide new avenues for employment.

Here's how it would work. Any time a person gets convicted for a crime and gets a jail sentence, they can engage a professional prisoner who will take on a portion of that jail sentence. In exchange the person convicted is required to pay to the professional prisoner 10% of their income for the rest of their lives. This income shall be tax free for the professional prisoner. The professional prisoner shall only spend 10% of the sentence time and can serve as many concurrent sentences as he can cram in. Repeat offenders are to go to the houses of their professional prisoner and beg for forgiveness, no further action shall be taken against them. However, should they refuse to beg for forgiveness they shall be immediately executed, the severity of the crime not withstanding. All citizens are advised to engage a professional prisoner just in case, should you be caught in an act that is not illegal but ethically questionable and you have not engaged the services of a professional prisoner, you shall be immediately executed, no appeals.

This would be a wonderful system free of abuse and would lessen crime, don't you think?

well it is a good idea but i want drop an opinion.

let me ask a question why does the country send their citizens to jail? people are sent jail so they can be rehabilitated. when in jail they teach them how to be morally right. so imagine if i can pay someone to serve a certain percentage of time in jail then when will i learn how to be a good person.

okay let me speak for myself. I do not think it would make me remorseful. I would only go and beg my professional prisoner so I won’t stay in jail but it won’t make me a better person.

Not necessarily why people are sent to jail.

Here are the major reasons

1. To be punished (ridding one of their fundamental right is the consequence of breaking the rules that binds social contracts).

2. Secure the society: Removing bad eggs from the society directly is consequential to the quality of individuals left and their safety. Isolating criminals (imprisonment) is a way of preventing them from committing said crimes again.

so if i am wealthy enough i can pay someone to do my time. While I commit another crime and pay another person and it continues like that. I am of the opinion that if you do the crime you must do the time

It’s like saying you’d pay someone to swallow your drugs when you’re sick. Of what benefit will it be to you

Re: Christian Justice System by tintingz(m): 7:13pm On Jul 20, 2019
Heard of this before but didn't know it's legally practiced in some countries.

Well, I don't think I buy this idea, if one commit a crime a very big crime and found guilty with evidences then he/she should be sent to jail with no grant of paying for someone else to do the terms.

If the crime is less/minor then the idea of correctional prison is a good idea, a prison where you live like every other citizens(work and get paid) but no freedom to move outside the prison.

I just started watching Prison Break series again, in as much the movie shows how innocent people and people with less crime are punished, is also shows how bad people must be in jail.

Which jail is rehabilitative in this world,it is in prison people engage in homosexual acts,become more rougher than b4,and they learn all other wrong vices.Stop saying prison rehabilitates people,instead it destroys them more.

Jails are meant to rehabilitate people.
Becoming homosexual doesn’t make one a bad person. That’s just his sexual preference

That is a detail. Before Jesus it was goats and lambs, the main issue is moving sin to another which is what this seeks to emulate.

Yes, I was a Christian.

No he didn't my Lord! One thing some miss is that Christianity is full of humptydumptys who words mean different things to and you my Lord, take the most basic humptydumpty's understanding and claim that's what the entirety of Christianity is.

Laziness, my Lord, is your sin, and no one will pay for it but you! And I call you lazy because I know you don't know what I mean and won't ask the follow up question to know, and even now I've said it, you'd still ask the wrong question in your attempt to prove me wrong. It's a test. Hint.
