Special Report Transcript Episode 71, Section 3, Time 22:29

Enough for whom? And what is enough? Would enough be that if you murdered somebody I would be satisfied if you were executed? Is that enough? Would it be enough that you are incarcerated for 10, 15, 20, 30 years? Enough? What do you mean enough? An eye for an eye? Is that what would satisfy? I don’t know. The thing is I certainly know of a few for whom to have come clean has cost them their marriages. Now is that enough? And some maybe, maybe not I don’t know; the anguish of it. Do we know? I mean have we got a calculus to compute? Does the remorse that they get, them not being able to sleep, is that enough? Enough for whom? Enough what? You see I would say that people don’t go off scot free, because what we have come to seem to accept is that the judicial system we’re talking about is not retributive justice, it is restorative justice. We are trying to see how are you going to be able to do something that will redress the balance that is going to advance healing. Not just for the survivors or the victims but for the perpetrators as well.
