In sum, the just desert model suggests that retribution
justifies punishment because people deserve what they get
for past deeds. Punishment based on deterrence or incapacitation
is wrong because it involves an offender’s future actions,
which cannot accurately be predicted. Punishment
should be the same for all people who commit the same
crime. Criminal sentences based on individual needs or
characteristics are inherently unfair because all people are
equally blameworthy for their misdeeds.

Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.
A car wreck can change our lives. The birth of a deformed baby.
Can cause someone to lose their job and medical bills put them into perpetual poverty.
I knew one couple who was so stanch against helping any poor or disadvantaged people. He had a heart attack and millions of dollars in medical bills for both of them through they had insurance it can still get expensive. She ended up in a nursing home after he died and now the tax payers are paying her bills in a nursing home. What does she think now that her million dollars is gone? She said, "I was so wrong."
