First, I don't think we owe them anything. Second, it is an irrelevant consideration in the context of meting out the appropriate punishment for their crimes.

Also, I feel that the justice system should be more geared towards righting a wrong than simply punishing the wrong. It's a difference of opinion about the meaning of justice. I could get probably get all philosophical on you, but as I already said, I'm pretty lazy.
