Suffering for bad behavior is justice. Suffering begets repentence. As one person put it, "People will change when it hurts enough."

I suspect that most men like to see justice served, but would not enjoy seeing someone suffer out of proportion with their crime.

The problem is getting 3 people to agree on what's proportionate punishment.
