-To deliver justice. What more appropiate form of justice is there than to make the punishment fit the crime?
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. This is cruel and unusual punishment that does not solve the issues involved in stopping rapists from raping and keeping the public safe. You do not rehabilitate rapists this way. This would create monsters.

-To help bring relief to victims of rape. Rape victims are traumatized from the event, and their families also suffer as a result. Sentencing rapists to cardinal punishment can help victims heal.
Vengeance isn't the way to help victims and it doesn't help our society as a whole. It is a personal feeling that the government should have no involvement in to seek out.

-It would be a great crime deterrent. People would be more reluctant to rape if there's a possibility of facing cardinal punishment.
Just as capital punishment makes murderers more reluctant to murder if there's a possibility of facing capital punishment. Oh wait,
it doesn't. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/front-line-law-enforcement-views-death-penalty

-If rapists are sentenced to cardinal punishment, their time in prison could be reduced. This would help with the issue of overcrowed prisons as well as the costs of maintaining those prisons.
No, that just means we would have to use our tax dollars for those cardinal punishment camps or whatever.
Quote:
-It would deter the rapist from raping again. Eventually, rapists are given parole. Even worse, they can escape prison before their time is served. But by teaching them a lesson with cardinal punishment, they would be unlikely to rape again (compared to if they were only given a prison sentence).
No, this would be creating monsters, just as bad as those we create in prisons. You treat a person like s**t and like a monster with no human rights, they're just going to take that and treat others in the same respect.
