Do you think an eye for an eye is a reasonable gesture for punishment? I have always believed that when you do something wrong it would come back on you, but do u think that is enough? In today's society the world evolves around crime and people are being punished by jail time. What if they were punished with the same crime they committed.

For example if a man stole money, instead of getting put in jail , someone steals money from him. He would be getting done to him what he did to someone else and that seems fair. Treat others how you wan to be treated. Also now a days criminals don't care about jail time., or they use it to their advantage and that isn't a efficient enough punishment
another example could be if a man killed someone's mother , then his punishment instead of having life in prison would be someone kills his mother. He would have never committed the crime.
If criminals were punished by what they did being done to them then they wouldn't commit any crime. As to if it was going to be committed to them. The crime rate would go down tremendously and you would see a big change in areas all
