Pope Francis asks us: how do we understand the social purpose of punishment? "Fear and resentment can easily lead to viewing punishment in a vindictive and even cruel way, rather than as part of a process of healing and reintegration into society." - Fratelli Tutti

This place is doing really good work with people who are reintegrating into society after having been incarcerated. It's a mercy few are willing to extend and is therefore all the more important. Give them a follow!

How to keep human dignity in view in the work of penal justice? "The problem [of the death penalty] must be viewed in the context of a system of penal justice ever more in line with human dignity and thus, in the end, with God's plan for man and society." - Evangelium Vitae

"And yet God, who is always merciful even when he punishes, 'put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him' (Gen 4:15). .. Not even a murderer loses his personal dignity, and God himself pledges to guarantee this." - St. Pope Johhn Paul II, Evangelium Vitae

"Even when people deny the dignity of others, we must still recognize that their dignity is a gift from God and is not something that is earned or lost through their behavior." — USCCB, A Culture of Life and the Penalty of Death

What do a life sentence and the death penalty have in common? Both treat the human person as being beyond God's redemption, as an object to be controlled and not as a person to be restored.
