| 7.13 Restitution of Law | ||
| Article 320-Penitence | ||
| Canon 3327 | ||
| Penitence is the enforcement of punitive actions against a person who upon being lawfully convicted of one or more crimes demonstrates neither remorse nor a willingness to reform their character. Penitence is one of only two forms of valid Punishment, the other being Absolution. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 3328 | ||
| Where an offender is not willing to show early remorse upon the first opportunity of hearing of the charge(s) against them and subsequently upon the completion of a trial or criminal hearing is found culpable of the said charge(s), then they shall be liable for the sentence regime known as penitence corresponding to the articles of this Code. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3329 | ||
| Where an offender does not offer a guilty plea to each and every charge brought before them at their pre-trial hearing, then they shall automatically not be eligible for absolution, regardless of any subsequent change in plea or demonstration of remorse. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3330 | ||
| Unlike a man or woman who has admitted early to guilt and has shown a willingness to reform, a man or woman who refuses to admit guilt automatically indicates that a period of compulsory actions must be applied "against their will" for some period. | ||
