While their punishment conditions are identical in all respects, Ronnie is tormented by prison life and lives in a constant state of fear and distress, while Reggie finds prison life merely difficult and unpleasant. If we subscribe to the &#8216;equality principle&#8217; of the same punishment for the same crimes, have Ronnie and Reggie been punished equally?<\/p>\n<p>The event is open to all, and tickets cost \u00a34.
