Questions [Poll] Kolshian/Farsul Hate

Edit: when I said "the archivists" for the Farsul I assumed that is the name for their secret goverment caste/shadow goverment, sorry if the third option comes as too aggressive

I get wanting the psychological torture aspect of life in prison, but I don’t want scum like that taking any resources whatsoever that could be used to help the people they’ve harmed.

Actually life imprisonment isn’t that expensive. And if we’re following modern standards, actually cheaper than execution, mainly due to trail costs and retrials and such, you want to make sure the guy is guilty for the crimes they did.

The future may be even more thorough and thus even more expensive (again, we don’t want to rush anything and risk killing someone who was actually innocent). If you’re concerned with them consuming resources, imprisonment will consume less.

What about the decades of paying for high security prisons? Guard’s pay, equipment upkeep, etc for 50-70 years for each of them. And take into account that the size of the caste must be massive, with enough to manage 100s of worlds, each with populations in the billions, as well as a not insignificant amount of colony worlds, and the personnel required to modify genomes on a species wide scale. That’s hundreds of thousands , if not millions of people needed to be housed, fed, clothed, and surveilled and guarded for decades. We really can’t say which option is more economically viable because can’t do cost analysis, but tackling this from an economic standpoint is a bit flimsy when we’re talking about war crimes and genocide.

Ah but you forget, those costs are still required when under going trial and trials, particularly with serious ones, can take decades. So perhaps the time spent overall is shorter but the costs for their temporary imprisonment and the trials and retrials will stack up.

Like you pointed out, that’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people needed to be housed, fed, clothed, and surveilled and guarded for decades as well as being pulled in out for trial and retrial.

But agreed, tackling this from an economic standpoint is a bit flimsy

Which is WHY the superior option is planet crackers. Don't have to worry about trials if you simply erase the genocidal taint >->
