It embodies the concrete the establishment of punishment, the discretion of punishment, the execution of punishment. three stages. The implementation idea in the establishment of punishment only can pursue freedom. Realizes the national penalty power’s justice request, the country must exercise the idea of equality and justice it the stage of the discretion of punishment. Judging from the justice idea of penalty, in the stage of execution, the state must manifest safeguard of human right and cannot carry some brutally, barbaric, torture way to execute penalty.
