Some crimes don’t warrant execution—but they still make a person intolerable to live among. Theft, fraud, chronic disruption, abuse—these destroy trust and social cohesion.

The solution isn’t endless prison or hand-wringing. It’s exile. Remove the parasite, protect the body.

A society must defend its moral order, not just its lives.

Exile is deeply humane—more merciful than execution, more practical than endless imprisonment. It gives the offender a chance to rebuild elsewhere, while freeing the community from their corrosive presence.

It restores order without creating martyrs. Every ancient society used exile for a reason: it works. It reinforces social boundaries, protects the innocent, and gives the guilty a clean break to reflect or self-destruct—somewhere else.
