Dante’s poetic justice:

Dante’s whole tale of hell is based on poetic justice, if your bad you go to hell. In the fourth circle the avaricious an the prodigal are punished by having tied weights to their bodies and having to do semi circles for eternity. This is poetic justice because of the way they are being punished. Their sin was using their money unwisely and bragging to others about their happiness. They must suffer by eternal physical fatigue. The meaning is that the lack of realizing how little they had to work,  makes the punishment their realization of the lack of fatigue on the real world. Since they wasted their life’s they shall be wasted on.

Re write of Life time in jail...

Lifetime in jail is a fair punishment since the murderer will then lose his life the same way he made his victim leave this world.

What would be a just consequence for a murderer?

A fair consequence in my opinion would be that the murder has a jail time of 15 years. In this time he will be put to session in which he will reflect his action, where he will be either rewarded or punished for his or her reflections. Severe punishment may be an option if the prisoner does not comply. This may include put in the “hole”, which is what they call it when prisoners are sent to cells where there is no light.
