Wait, are people here claiming that vengeance is not a valid foundation of the justice system? I would argue it is the only sensible (and, yes, rational foundation).

What else would be the purpose of the justice system?

If vengeance was the purpose mutilation, torture and public humiliation would be easier, cheaper and more efficient. The purpose of imprisonment are twofold removing a potential threat to society and rehabilitation.
