These punishments became about correction, as people realised control would only come through educating people. Rehabilitation making offenders better and having a system that integrates them back into society e. g. community service. Discretion the judges should have a level of discretion when sentencing to take in certain situational factors. Is there an explanation as to why that person committed the offence.
