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.

Anakin was silent, thinking about the question for a long time. Finally he said, "I believe that reform can be possible most of the time, assuming the being really wants to make a change. But some choices?" he sighed, "Some choices are forever. Irrevocable. True justice must be served, regardless of how badly a being feels about what he, she, or it has done." In his head he heard Yoda's voice, "Once you go down the dark parth, forever will it dominate your destiny."

Lockheed spent too much time around Tick. He wasn't used to this kind of depth unless he had to dig for it. He gave a satisfied grunt as he nodded to Anakin for his answer.
