The punishment of the law is sometimes flexible, but the scope of this "flexibility" is too large, sometimes the death penalty will be imposed for stealing two cents, and sometimes the embezzlement of 20 million is only for a certain period of time, the standard of judgment is very critical, and there are more factors besides the time period.

Li Mu has always been a supporter of "re-enactment in troubled times", for those who violate the law, Li Mu has always supported the most serious punishment to punish, the current law in New York City is very strict, it is possible that a person just to fill his stomach to rob, but the consequences are likely to take more than ten years to repent in prison, in the eyes of some people, this is inhumane, but for those who abide by the law, this is the greatest justice, and those who are not right-minded should be punished beyond the provisions of the law. Not to mention the impartiality of the law, the law itself is the power of the majority over the minority, the impartiality?

Don't be funny.

In Vladivostok, the law is more stringent, even if the criminal act does not enter the substantive implementation stage, just a simple threat, it will be recognized as a violation, the general punishment is five years, if it enters the implementation stage, violent injury or even robbery, then it may even be impossible to turn over for a lifetime, the Vladivostok government is best at using punitive punishment, in a gang-related case in January this year, the main culprit was sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor, this is still under the premise that the crime has not been carried out, that is, it is just a threat.

It is enough to just threaten, the Vladivostok state government will never make amends, but prevent trouble, if it does not comply with the law, the cost will be much greater than the United States, so the citizens of Vladivostok are very law-abiding in most cases, the reason is simple, the cost of their crime is far greater than the proceeds of crime, which may cause overcrowding in the prison in the early days, but in the long run, this is the greatest protection for those law-abiding citizens.

On the tenth day after Li Mu arrived in Vladivostok, he was invited by Thomas Chamberlain to visit the largest prison in Vladivostok - Paradise.

The name is a bit strange, but it is not bizarre, the purpose of the Vladivostok Oblast government to set up the prison is to educate people to be good, not to mention the outcome, it can eliminate a person's criminal psychology, and it is estimated that only heaven can have this effect.

"Paradise Prison currently holds nearly a thousand prisoners, these prisoners have to engage in a certain degree of physical labor to maintain their consumption in prison, and some of it will also compensate the victims, I estimate that this is the most special prison in the United States, because in the information I know, all the prisons in the United States are losing money, but Paradise Prison is now in a profitable state, so many people will not understand, but this is the true meaning of prisons, so that those criminals fully understand the harm they cause to the victims, And then make up for it, maybe this is the meaning of the existence of Paradise Prison. "Thomas Chamberlain is the prosecutor general of Vladivostok, and most of the prisoners in Paradise Prison were sent in by Thomas Chamberlain himself, which is Thomas Chamberlain's political achievement, and others may not think so, but Thomas Chamberlain insists that this is a miracle created by the law of Vladivostok.

It's really a miracle, as far as Li Mu knows, almost all prisons lose money, and the fact that Paradise Prison can make a profit doesn't show how genius the administrators of Paradise Prison are, it can only show that the managers of Paradise Prison exploit prisoners even more, but who will take advantage of the problem?

There are no people, so everything in Paradise Prison is reasonable.

"It's very good, to get such a result, Paradise Prison definitely deserves to be admired." Li Mu is full of praise, as a vested interest in society, Li Mu hates all those who disrupt the social order, although in many cases, Li Mu is the destroyer of the rules.

Of course, Li Mu, the rule breaker, is not the same as an ordinary rule breaker, strictly speaking, Li Mu should be the rule-maker now, so those people in prison are all Li Mu's targets.

"We are also very helpless, some people have accused us of such regulations are too inhumane, and do not let those prisoners get their due rights, so I will not get used to those people, for those hypocrites, I only have one sentence, when committing criminal acts, those criminals should have this awareness, so now they all deserve it." Thomas Chamberlain should be a tough hawk, and so is Li Mu, relatively speaking, Chen Guofang will sometimes be a little woman-like.

There is no private prison in the United States, and all prisoners will be protected by federal law and enjoy the most basic rights.

In Vladivostok, prisoners must work a certain number of hours a day in exchange for their food and relaxation time, and if it is not up to standard, then the life of the prisoner will be very miserable, of course, these jobs must be under the control of the federal police, sometimes it is made of fur, sometimes it is done by hand, or sometimes it is outdoor labor.

Don't underestimate these jobs, if you are proficient in craftsmanship, then even after these prisoners are released from prison, with the skills they have mastered in prison, they can find a job to support their families, of course, most prisoners will not do this, they are not resisting now, because there is strong suppression by prison guards, once the environment is changed, it is estimated that not many prisoners will work honestly.

It doesn't matter, they don't work honestly, and if they continue to commit crimes, then the police will appear in front of them at any time, and such people are most liked by the police, because they don't need special training to be competent in prison.

"Very good Thomas, we are not trying to create a pure land on earth, our main job is to protect those who work honestly from punishment in any way, and those who make mistakes will have to pay the price, we have understood this for a long time, and if someone wants to challenge this, then be prepared to pay the corresponding price." Li Mucai will not pity those people, although the cold winter wax moon, the clothes on those people are not enough to keep out the cold, although Li Mu was visiting the kitchen just now, it is obvious that the food of those prisoners cannot provide them with enough energy, but this is the punishment they deserve, they deserve it, although Li Mu himself is not so conformist, but Li Mu hates all those who break the rules.

This is also the American version of only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

"Paradise Prison now has a profit of nearly $10,000 a month in addition to the necessary expenses, and the rest of this money will be handed over to the state treasury except for a part of the compensation for the victim's loss, and it is estimated that only the Vladivostok state government in the United States can make a profit from the prison, but for this, Mr. Governor himself does not seem to be very happy, I know that Mr. Governor is very sympathetic, but now it seems that Mr. Governor's sympathy is too overflowing, we could have been tougher." Thomas Chamberlain finally pointed the finger at Chen Guofang, although Chen Guofang and Li Mu are both Chinese, but white people are sometimes so simple, they always think that the interests can be greater than the ethnic group.

This is no exaggeration, sometimes white people are indeed more simple, or more naïve, or more naïve, they are sometimes the standard "help but not help", and it is impossible to understand the deep-rooted local complex of the Chinese.

Of course, from Li Mu's point of view, although Li Mu is Chinese, Li Mu should also be simpler, naïve, or naïve, so that Li Mu can better protect his interests.

"Thomas, on the issue of 'punishing the former and the latter', Franklin's thinking is different from yours, you believe that human nature is evil, as long as there is a mistake, you will send people to the eighteenth layer of hell, and you will never be able to turn over, but Franklin is different, Franklin believes in 'human nature is inherently good', some mistakes that are not serious enough are harmless, as long as you are willing to correct them, Franklin will always give them the opportunity to correct, I think this is very important, who can not make any mistakes in their lives, even you and me." It should be said that Li Mu is more inclined to Thomas Chamberlain's decision, but on this issue, Li Mu has to support Chen Guofang, the local complex, Li Mu is also Chinese.

Thomas Chamberlain probably didn't expect Li Mu to resolutely support Chen Guofang, leaving no room at all, fortunately Thomas Chamberlain is a mature politician, although Li Mu expressed his attitude, Thomas Chamberlain was not so depressed, and then invited Li Mu to visit the restaurant of Paradise Prison.

"I'm sorry Reem, although we have done our best, but we still can't do our best, the actual person in charge of the Heavenly Prison is Song from the Qing Kingdom, his basic means of managing prisoners is that the prisoners must not be overfed, it is said that this is derived from the theory of hunting dogs, I think it makes sense, so far, there has not been a single vicious incident in Vladivostok Prison, and Song has done a good job." Thomas Chamberlain also has his own supporters, and he is also Chinese, which can be regarded as actively moving closer to Li Mu.

Vladivostok was open to immigrants, and of course all kinds of talents flocked to it, and those poor people in the Qing country who had no food and clothing would emigrate to Vladivostok, and politicians who were politically unwilling, or those who violated the laws of the Qing Dynasty, would of course also immigrate to Vladivostok.

A fact that cannot be ignored is that the politicians of the Qing Dynasty may not be able to integrate into the environment of Vladivostok at all after arriving in Vladivostok, but those small officials are like fish in water in Vladivostok, such as the "Song" mentioned by Thomas Chamberlain, who used to be just a jailer in the Jinmen of the Qing Dynasty, and after coming to Vladivostok, he actually became the person in charge of the Vladivostok State Prison.

In fact, it is also very normal, don't underestimate those small officials of the Qing State, the transfer of officials in the Qing State is very normal, but the small officials will not be transferred, they are all snakes, and their understanding of human feelings and sophistication is more profound than that of officials, except that they can't write Bagu Wen, their ability is beyond doubt.

"Okay, congratulations, you've found a suitable administrator, but I guess that doesn't solve the whole problem, what will happen to these prisoners if they are released from prison? Reintegrate them into society? Li Mu does not have the slightest mercy for those who have made mistakes, not because Li Mu is cold, but because Li Mu does not have enough time to wait for a person to get better, and Li Mu does not think that it will get better.

At the very least, most people don't get better.

Many people say that "the prodigal son does not change his money", in fact, just look at this sentence, the probability of "the prodigal son turning back" is really not high, otherwise there will be no such sentence, more cases, people believe that the dog can't change what to eat, which doesn't sound fair, but it's more in line with reality, can the prison reform a person?

Sometimes you can, but most of the time you can't, look at the interviews with Thief Guevara, some people are hopeless, and say to them that the prodigal son is playing the harp to the cow.

If it was a social environment that was relaxed enough, Li Mu would also be as good as he could, but was the social environment in the nineteenth century relaxed enough?

Don't be funny, these days, people caught pirates can be hanged on the dock without trial, the clan elders of the Qing Kingdom even have the right to judge life and death for members of the clan, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside, saying that the social environment is hypocritical.

"If we can, of course we hope so-" Thomas Chamberlain realized that Li Mu's attitude had changed, so he immediately followed Li Mu's train of thought: "But in most cases, it is impossible for us to save a person who sold his soul to the devil, so all the prisoners in the heavenly prison have to atone for their sins, not to make them repent, but to make them deeply realize that they must pay the price for their actions, so that they will consider more consequences when they face the same choice after they are released from prison." ”

Thomas Chamberlain is not a saint, compared with Li Mu's support, Thomas Chamberlain will not care about the life or death of prisoners, Li Mu's influence on Vladivostok is undoubted, it can be said that whoever Li Mu supports, who is likely to be elected governor of Vladivostok three years later, Thomas Chamberlain knows that compared with Chen Guofang, there must be a gap in Li Mu's heart, so to get Li Mu's support, Thomas Chamberlain can only get closer to Li Mu.

"Thomas, don't say anything to save the world, we don't have that ability, what we can do is to make the people around us live happily as much as possible, so the prisoners here, if possible, when they finish their sentences, I hope they can stay away from Vladivostok, and don't let them interfere with the lives of those good people, what we want - is a pure land." Li Mu's requirements are high, Thomas Chamberlain is doing well, but he is not good enough, treating diseases and saving people?

No, what Li Mu wants is to eliminate all evil.
