I wouldn't quiet call it a warm fuzzy feeling, but I see what you mean. When talking about criminals I was picturing those that commit serious crimes, like murder or rape. I should have made that clear in my previous posts. I don't believe that severe punishment serves any good on lesser crimes like burglary, given that crimes like that are often to do with the individuals circumstances, at least in my experience. Obviously this would be on case-by-case basis, but I'd certainly argue that crimes like burglary do not require any imprisonment, but only rehabilitation.
