I agree.

That's why I like Darkness' idea.
It allows the criminal to retain their rights so their mind doesn't get more messed up.
They need to go to some sort of counseling to help them straighten out their own thinking.
They also have to pay for any care the victim requires.
If the victim is unable to work, they have to pay a reasonable salary to the victim (which also helps decrease govt responsibility for disability payments thus lowering national debt a bit)

Having to do all this actually might make a person think twice. Right?

Plus the victim benefits bc they no longer have the burden of paying for what was done to them.
