XI. Punishment

        Private Crimes shall be punished by a combined system of restitution
        and in some cases minor corporal punishment.
                Property Crimes:
                        Restitution for Property Crimes shall be twice the
                        value of the stolen or damaged property. If possible,
                        the stolen or damaged property shall be returned to
                        its rightful owner. An additional ten percent of said
                        value shall be paid to the public.

                        At the discretion of the presiding Justice, repeat 
                        offenders may be incarcerated for up to one day
                        per repeat offense or one week per 1000 denar value of
                        the stolen or damaged goods, whichever is greater.
                        In some cases, loss of the offending limb may be 
                        appropriate. 

                Fraudulence:
                        Restitution for Crimes of Fraudulence shall be imposed
                        by the presiding Justice in accordance with the amount
                        of damage done the victim in property, wealth or
                        reputation.
                        Repeat offenders may be incarcerated at the discretion
                        of the Justice for a period of up to one week per
                        repeat offense.

                Personal Harm
                        Restitution for Crimes that cause Personal Harm to
                        another shall be in accordance with the amount of
                        harm done to the victim, as well as wages or other
                        income lost as a result of the Harm.

                        Repeat offenders may be incarcerated at the discretion
                        of the Justice for a period of up to one month per
                        repeat offense.

                Death
                        Restitution for Crimes resulting in Death of a non-
                        citizen or Accidental Death of a humiliore shall be
                        paid to the family of the victim and shall be no less
                        than five silver talents plus lost wages or other
                        income for a period of two years.

                        Repeat offenders may be incarcerated at the discretion
                        of the Justice for a period of up to one year per
                        repeat offense.

                        When these crimes are committed by a habitual offender
                        they may be recategorized as a Public Crime at the
