Welcome once again to Ancient Wisdom. One commonly overlooked aspect of ancient wisdom is ancient law. Ancient punishments were highly effective in dealing with repeat offenders. The key was amputation. By amputating the limb or organ that offenders needed to commit crimes, there was a greatly reduced chance of continued offending. Thieves lost their hands. Liars and blasphemers lost their tongues. Rapists lost their sexes. It kept them out of trouble. But today we figure it's enough to just lock them up for a while and then let them back out on the street to cause more chaos.
