    I would expect that judges have a fine moral compass for which crimes are worse than others. Better if they don’t need to follow some administration’s counterscientific “tough on crime” whim

    You make a compelling case for maximums though. I hadn’t thought of it as being a way to reduce torture or death penalty in the countries where that’s on the table in the first place
