The Calculus of Justice

My penalty for refusing to bang-up and then walking amiably to the Block was 7 days "cellular confinement".

The penalty for a guy found in possession of a 6-inch stabbing weapon was...7 days cellular confinement.

Hmmm...

  2. I don't think he was complaining about his penalty, more the lack of a penalty for what is essentially a far more serious infraction.

  3. Ben is just pointing out that these two very different offences have somehow resulted in the same punishments despite one being far more serious than the other.
