No, and if you believe this you're already on the slippery slope toward schizo tier postmodernism. How in the hell do people forget you have a body, you are your body, and you can't have a mind without a body.

everyone I've asked says yes he should stay in prison it worries me because most people genuinely don't give a fuck about justice or rehabilitation it's all about punishment - mob rule is just to inflict suffering on anyone you dislike

>the justice system, while flawed, is designed to punish us for our actions
The goal of the justice system is rehabilitation (to try and stop people from offending in the future). "Punishment" is a means to an end. If someone has no chance of ever offending again they would better serve society by paying taxes.
