Challenge #04682-L298: Own Employee Rights

Why were you arrested? /"I severely overworked my employee to the point of collapse while not seeing to their needs."

Wait... I thought you were self employed and had no employees. /"You're right, I don't."

So which employee did you overwork if you don't have any working for you? /"I guess I was the employee."

Okay... that's odd. /"Yeah, I don't belong here." -- The New Guy

The Galactic Alliance didn't believe in punitive reform systems. Punishment did not often improve things. In its stead, the citzen creating harm was removed from causing more harm to the society around them. Then, once safely isolated, various therapeutic tactics were employed and enforced until the offender learned better. In extreme cases only, the offender was resettled. Placed in a new occupation and area where their destructive predilections could do society a greater good.

The Cogniscent Rights Committee only sounded like a soft and slow organisation. Those who misunderstood it thought it was full of meek-voiced therapists determined to get everyone in touch with their feelings.

They were wrong. The CRC had teeth. Only one of those fangs was Pax Humanis.
