How am I biased in this instance?

you want to put 12yearolds away for 40 years, that's neither normal nor human, it's a psychopathic mindset. something must have brought you to this extreme opinion hence you're clearly biased

In any pre industrial society they would just execute them. You deserve to be neighbors with the people you defend.

Because large scale prisons didn’t exist 

Why do you think rome executed petty thieves? They didn’t have very many options.

Your fat ass probably hasn't touched grass in half a decade. You have nothing because you're a retard. Calling me inexperienced and then making dumb ass blanket statements like police don't do anything.

I never said the victim gets to choose the punishment dipshit. I just can't fathom how someone could envision their daughter going outside to play near one of these creatures and then arguing that they dindu nuffin they good girls let em go.
Law and punishments are built around appeals to emotion, you give the offender just due so the wronged party doesn't need to take it into their own hands.

Because they weren't deluded into thinking they could reform monsters. If you hold someone down and stab them 19 times, you're a bad egg. Anyone who disagrees should be forced to adopt one. Eat dick.

Rome did not have prisons. 

If they catch a thief, they cut an arm off.
If they catch a killer, they crucify him.
If you’re lucky, you will spend the rest of your days as a slave.

They weren’t thinking about “punishment vs reform” they were choosing the easiest solution. They couldn’t afford or care enough to separate criminals from the rest of society for any given amount of time. And yes anon, monsters can be reformed. People can change. Murderers are the least likely to re-offend because the majority of murders are committed in blind acts of emotion. The type of person to re-offend is like 1% of 1% of killers. And those people are usually extremely mentally ill.
