When Should the Law Forgive?

After reading Eric Foner's new book on the Reconstruction Amendments (good summary; get those high school students a copy) that had a Martha Minow blurb, read this small volume. She covered the same ground in short form some years back. It specifically covers child soldiers (giving them some agency can help; forgiveness requires admitting guilt), financial debts and pardons in general. Helpfully, she doesn't try to get firm answers, raising various questions and suggesting possible approaches. It did feel a bit rambling though.

Also: Brewers had a great September and then simply stopped winning last Friday. Hader blew a save to prevent the NL Central to possibly be decided in Game 163 (they lost Game 162 in the 10th anyhow) and then (with help) blew it in the eighth in the Wild Card game.
