I'm ok with punishment, please stop lying about my arguments. I was merely saying that being in jail isn't voluntary. You seem to agree, though you won't say it, because you wouldn't want the doors of prison flung open because the criminals would leave to commit crimes. Why? Because they were not in jail voluntarily.
This is as specious an argument as the one pro-choicers sometimes toss out claiming that when a woman consents to having unprotected sex she's not consenting to getting pregnant. If you're a woman and you freely have unprotected sex, you voluntarily take the risk of getting pregnant. If you're a criminal and you freely rob a bank, you voluntarily take the risk of getting caught and imprisoned. To suggest otherwise is just utter nonsense.
