Punishment shifted from sovereign vengeance to ensuring no crime goes unpunished
Evidence
It is clear that a change has taken place in the meaning and intention of punishment where it was no longer seen as a means of exacting vengeance from the offender, or a way by which the sovereign attempted to restore his momentarily injured sovereignty; rather, it became a way of making sure that no crime went unpunished. This new conception of punishment, represented in the specific example of imprisonment and internment in general, reflected a change in the meaning of discipline and the ways to bring it about. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 628
