Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they're all awaiting trial in jail too.

I feel like I've taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.
