Punishments in the past, such as corporal punishment or public executions, were often harsher and aimed at deterrence through fear. Today in the US, the justice system has shifted towards rehabilitation and restorative justice, emphasizing mental health support and reintegration into society. While some states still impose severe penalties, including the death penalty, there is a growing movement towards reducing incarceration rates and exploring alternatives to traditional punishment. Overall, contemporary approaches tend to prioritize human rights and the potential for reform over punitive measures.
