When Justice Kenneth Affleck jailed a senior who was honestly motivated to improve the world, the judge was following a long-established Canadian legal tradition. It dictates:
The purpose of punishment is deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, retribution, and restitution, except when the perpetrator is a white-collar criminal or a senior officer of a wealthy corporation. In those cases, there is no need for punishment to fit the crime.
