I think the punishments in the three stories are fair. Mary Mallons punishments was fair, because if the police didn't put Mary on a private Island, she would've continued to spread the tyoid diease. John Dillinger punisment was fair, because the text stated that John Dillinger and his killed many people. If the police didn't kill John, he would've broken out of prison. Michael Fay's father warned him of the brutal laws in Singapore and Michael was wrong for sprary painting cars. I think the way the Us handles punishments are okay.
