Plea bargaining, time off for good behavior, parole, etc., all are means of closing one's eyes to one's own convictions. All are means of compromising, trading, one's principles for convenience. A rather poor bargain considering the ripple effect. New and expanded means of protecting society and other souls within society need to be developed and implemented. Electronic tethering for less acute crimes against the souls of others becomes a means of providing more latitude for the perpetrator to make restitution to the souls it damaged and to be less of a burden upon society.
Restitution becomes a means in itself to rectify offenses against other souls and society.
All this calls for the reevaluation regarding how to handle the perpetrator. All this calls for the elimination of concepts such as short prison terms due to lack of facilities and leniency. Destruction of records after a perpetrator reaches eighteen, first time offense excuses, product of society defense, all would need to be reexamined in light of a universal philosophy. Absolution by society and the reevaluation of what are crimes and what are not crimes becomes a must. Society too will have to reevaluate its responsibilities.
