On numerous occasions where someone I know commented that 'so-and-so needs to be beaten long and viciously ...', I've replied that while they may, in fact, need it quite desparately, the doing of it would be very bad karma for the person Doing the beating, utterly regardless of the 'deservedness' of it on the part of the one to be beaten.
I've long advocated retraining and therapy Rather than warehousing and suffering in prisons for the same reason. You are far more likely to get a helpful result with the person you are 'working over', And you do far less damage to those who have to work the system. Even if it does NO good to the erstwhile 'incarceree', you do less damage to society as a whole and engender better ~karma for everyone. Not to mention cutting re-offending by a Lot.
