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

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

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.
