The criminals/gladiators punishment was fair and not fair in different ways:
It was fair because they where given a chance to escape and/or be famous. You could gain from a punishment. You could be spared from an agonising death, E.G crucifiction, being rolled down a long hill in a barrel with spikes in it. If you where a gladiator you would have a quick death. The emperor could spare your life and you could make new friends when you are training.
It was not fair because you could be made to fight and kill your friends. If you where a criminal fighting for the first time you where probably a really bad class. Unless you where a really good fighter, you would die almost certainly. Many rare animals where killed almost to extinction. You would be wounded and killed for other peoples entertainment. You would be jeered at when you are being killed.
The conclusion of my project was that the punishment was a good punishment. It provided the public with entertainment and you could escape the gladiators fights if you where good enough. The criminals could redeem themselves and turn into a good person.
