Because of the potential for misjudgment -- if someone is imprisoned and its discovered that they never committed the crime 10 years later they are released and compensated... it can't really make up for time lost but it is something. If you're accused of melting someone's face with sulfuric acid and you get your face melted with sulfuric acid in return, there isn't any coming back from that.

In short, the "eye for an eye" system can and does lead to gross miscarriage of justice.

I have already been punished my whole life.
I am owed my crimes now.

It's wrong because you should attack the criminals family instead. Would you stab someone if you knew it meant that your mother, son or wife would be stabbed because of what you did?

The OT (which i assume is where this eye for an eye principle comes from) states that if one falsely accuses another, they will suffer the punishment that the accused would have suffered.

That's great if the complaint was filed by someone intentionally to cause harm to the accused. What about cases of misidentification?? What about misunderstandings? And what of accusations filed by the state? Do you punish the judge? The jury? The officer who filed the report? The head of state? The entire legislature?

It isn't a just system.
