Every synagogue, church and mosque should address this in their adult education:
What is the ultimate aim of the system?
If society seeks restitution for crimes and for , it needs a better plan.
We must reconsider what rehabilitation looks like, for which offenders it is offered, and how we can stop the revolving door of prison.
We can look at rehabilitative justice.

Standards of in the

may be blind, but and must be clear-sighted. We may consider the concept of evidentiary standards as it arises in several overlapping areas of Talmudic and secular law:
How can we assess the truth of testimony?
Does every criminal confession pass muster, or are some inadmissible?
When can informants be considered credible?

Judaism and the Death Penalty

1. Some crimes are irreversible.
2. Everyone makes mistakes.

Taken together, these two propositions suggest both the imperative and impediment for the death penalty and point to its central paradox. Can man have the authority to sentence another man to death? How should we respond to the most serious crimes?

Prison Reform is a Jewish Value: Modern-day societies imprison people at a rate unparalleled, and indeed unimaginable, in past times. Why is this so? Why do we lock people up, and what do we hope to achieve by doing so? Does the purpose of prison always outweigh the cons of conviction?

Robert Reich points out that corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019. But today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.
Conclusion: corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages. Where do we as Jews learn about Jewish views of wages, work, and the economy?
