Protection of rights and liberties against their intentional infringement should be the outright most important objective of a democratic government and their justice system. The judicial process and penal measures are the prime example of the means deployed by the State to attain these objectives. Those convicted are subjected to these penal processes justified as a form of social reform and a punitive measure. The term 'poetic justice' seems very handy at this point and the penal measure brings to an end the judicial process and starts the reform process concerning that particular instance of the disturbance caused to someone's peace.
