Maybe not but leaving rapists to roam free and continue raping people doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good for society either, does it?

Of course not, obviously they need a fair prison sentence that deters them and others from hurting people like that again and keeps them out of society until they’re rehabilitated. That’s the appropriate consideration, not vengeance. But the guy I replied to advocated for throwing every rapist away for life because they scarred victims for life. That’s purely retaliatory without any utility whatsoever. No amount of punishment is going to undo the harm they caused.
