In effect, they are creating all kinds of injustice. For example, they are punishing ''all of society'', by forcing society to provide free room and board for the guilty person! The injured persons rarely receive a justice that compensates for their loss (though the lawyers normally get rich). In prison, the guilty person is exposed to all kinds of evil influences, which often enable him to commit even worse crimes, if he is freed from prison. Also, if freed from prison, his ability to function in society is often effectively destroyed, causing all those around him to suffer permanently, and sometimes even encouraging him to return to further crime. </ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div> </div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Some people attack this rule, claiming that there would be instances in which an ''innocent'' person might get punished (or put to death). In an imperfect world, this is possible, but this rule keeps such injustices to a minimum. ''Any other alternative does no better in preventing injustice, and usually does worse!'' Consider this</ins>: <ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">In the "modern" world, where this rule is often ignored, how often do people remain silent about a crime they see committed? How often do people tell "less than the truth" when giving testimony in court? How often do we hear about prosecuting lawyers or defense lawyers withholding information or distorting the evidence, so that it looks like it favors their position? How often are crime labs careless in their analysis of the evidence, resulting in inaccurate or false reports? If all these people ''knew'' that they would receive the ''same'' punishment that the guilty person deserved, they would be ''less inclined'' to do things that encouraged injustice. Once all the "crooked lawyers" (and the rest) were imprisoned or put to death for distorting or withholding evidence that either set criminals free or punished innocent people, there would be a whole lot more justice in the judicial system!
