Criminal Justice Class 21
[OOC: For some reason, I don't think today will be much of a lecture day. Discuss or get flamed! Class Info Link.]
Lockheed was at The Tick's desk. Tick was nowhere to be seen. On the dry erase board behind the desk, the following was written in a careful but unnatural script:
Professor Tick out of town. Professor Lockheed is sub.
TODAY:
Reform is part of Justice. Go to jail. If you feel sorry, then you someday get out, become a decent person.
Is this Just? Do some crimes override reform? Should more happen to prove reform? Is stigma of being criminal good continued punishment?
DISCUSS REFORM AND ITS PLACE IN SOCIETY!
The grammar may have needed some work, but it was still pretty impressive for a non-English speaking dragon. When the students were done reading that board, Lockheed gestured to a side board. It read:
EXTRA CREDIT:
Give Prof. Lockheed a cookie.

Re: Discuss
"The punishment should fit the crime," Aeryn says
and feels slightly hypocritical but everyone involved knows her feelings on this. "If you kill a dozen people in cold blood, the likelihood of something happening to make you the kind of person that can fit into society isn't good and you should spend the rest of your life in a cell, or if your culture allows punishment by death, it would fit. There are lesser crimes where reform would make sense, though. And I'm not sure how well 'sorry' fits in to any of it."Re: Discuss
Blame Rory for the subject.Lockheed nods at Aeryn's contribution.
