Because in the end, Slater, the point of justice is to get the right people for the right crime, and to be proportionate in response to what they've done. To, aye, make sure it doesn't happen again, but also to make sure they've got a fair hearing. Because if one person's conviction turns out to be a lie - they all could be.
If I just shrugged off people's actions as them being inmates, and capable of nothing better, I doubt many inmates would get very far.
