"In the past, wizards have always been terrified of Azkaban. Because of the Dementors, more than 50% of the criminals could not get out of Azkaban alive, and the criminals who got out basically died within a year, which is not good."

Under the stunned eyes of the crowd, Bernard smiled and said:

"Punishment should not only make people afraid. Of course, this can reduce crime, but after all, anyone can make mistakes. Such a high mortality rate can easily make criminals have a broken jar mentality. At the same time, punishment should also make prisoners realize their mistakes and give them a chance to reform."

Bernard's words were passionate, but everyone's attention was obviously still on what he said before.

"Wait a minute... Mr. Bernard, how do you make prisoners fully accept a thousand-year sentence?"

The one who spoke was still the wizard who asked the question.

"Thanks to our efforts, the new Azkaban has bid farewell to the darkness of the past, abolished the setting of Dementors as jailers, and instead used magic... the magic of time."

Bernard looked at him and smiled proudly:

"With the technical support of a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, each cell in the new Azkaban is equipped with the magic of time. Prisoners will spend the corresponding time in it according to their respective sentences, and until the end of the sentence, only 24 hours will have passed in the outside world at most."

"Is this really possible? That is the magic of controlling time."

The wizard frowned and muttered:

"And even if it can be done, the prisoners will not be able to see it. People will still grow old and die, right?"

"No, no, no, in this process the time in the cell will be constantly reset, and the prisoner's body will only spend 24 hours at most in this process. Even if he commits suicide, he will come back to life immediately. Only the prisoner's consciousness will not be affected, and he can clearly perceive how long he has been in the cell."

Bernard snapped his fingers:

"In order to prevent prisoners from developing mental problems in the repetitive and long loneliness, the new Azkaban has also thoughtfully prepared some corresponding measures to ensure that prisoners can still maintain clear cognition even if they spend thousands of years in the cage."

Hiss - thoughtful, so thoughtful!

The employees of the Ministry of Magic below felt a chill in their hearts, and couldn't help wondering how crazy the person who provided technical support was.

The new Azkaban should be the one to imprison people like this!

No, the guy who is speaking now should also be imprisoned!

"In this process, prisoners need to complete corresponding labor training and learn legal provisions every day. They also have enough time to confess their crimes in their spare time. Those who behave well can get commutation and parole, while those who behave poorly can get additional punishment."

Bernard's face was filled with a warm and sunny smile:

"Under this premise, for example, the prisoner in the example mentioned above needs to make a choice, whether to accept the death penalty after accepting 4785 years of imprisonment and possible additional punishment, or to fight for commutation and parole for himself through good performance. This is the significance of this example."

"Gudong——"

Everyone looked at the smile on his face and couldn't help but lower their eyes to avoid looking at him.

This man is a devil!

But putting aside the creepy feeling after putting themselves in the shoes of the prisoners, everyone couldn't help but sigh at the effectiveness of these laws.

In fact, there has always been a tangled point in the ruling on punishment. If the sentence is too low, the prisoner will not feel itchy, and if the sentence is too high, the prisoner will break the jar. Punishments that exceed the tolerance range, such as more than 200 years of imprisonment, are basically invalid.

Therefore, those really vicious prisoners often don't care about doing more bad things, and all we can do in the end is to let the Dementors treat him well.

But in this law, every sentence will be implemented in place, and no sentence will be wasted.

In this way, even prisoners who have killed people have to consider whether it is worth it to sit in prison for at least a few days before the death penalty for some minor crimes.

In this way, those direct death sentences are simply lenient!

Everyone couldn't help but take another look at the crimes that can be sentenced to death directly, and then sighed with regret.

Those crimes that can be sentenced to death, such as malicious murder, will also carry a fixed-term imprisonment of 500 years, and this is when the other party immediately surrenders to the Ministry of Magic after killing someone and asks for a sentence.

Want to get this kind of bug?

It doesn't exist!

After spending so much effort to ask Adam to build the prison of his dreams, how could Bernard leave such a shortcut that can end it all?

As a punishment for killing someone, criminals sentenced to death areDuring the detention, they can also enjoy the attentive care of the new jailer of the Ministry of Magic, the Ghost Mosquito.

I can only say that prisoners with low education who want to find bugs will be blessed in the future~

"Any other questions?"

Bernard smiled and looked at everyone at the conference table, but everyone he saw lowered their heads and shook their heads desperately.

"Then..."

Bernard looked at Eugene, and Eugene took over the conversation with understanding:

"This meeting is over. The trial of the Death Eaters will begin in the afternoon. If you are interested, you can be a jury."

Although everyone wanted to say that they would not go.

But this was the first trial after the implementation of the new law, and it also changed the previous way of voting by the Wizengamot, so everyone still pinched their noses and came to the scene in the afternoon.

The original Wizengamot meeting room is now a court. Bernard, who had previously made an impassioned speech in the meeting room, wore the clothes that symbolized the presiding judge and sat in the chief seat.

Two wizards who were originally members of the Wizengamot sat on both sides of Bernard as judges. They were respected scholars in the wizarding world and were also two of the few members of the Wizengamot who had a close relationship with Eugene.

"Bang——"

After hitting the hammer, Bernard looked at the people below.

Although they were a little uncomfortable because it was their first time to participate in this form of trial, many wizards couldn't even find their place at the beginning, but they began to look like they were doing it.

When I was a child, my long-term dream was to become a great lawyer like my parents, but I didn't expect that I would become the presiding judge in one step.

Oh no... should it be the chief justice?

Bernard's thoughts were flying in his mind, but his face remained serious, and he said in a cold voice:

"The first trial of the Death Eaters begins now!"

It is somewhat ironic that the Death Eaters under Voldemort this time are much fewer in number than the Death Eaters under Voldemort back then because of the encirclement and suppression from many parties.

But in the end, the number of people who need to go through the trial is much greater than the previous one. Due to the current shortage of magic in the judicial department, the trial even needs to be conducted in batches.

You should know that some of the Death Eaters have even postponed the trial because they need to further determine the biological classification!

It is a long and arduous task to establish a real judicial system in the wizarding world.

What was Adam's sentence called...

Bernard looked at the Death Eaters brought up by two bailiffs with a cold and firm look.

The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down.
