I agree they should definitely experience what it's like to be on the receiving end, this is by far and wide the best way to fix empathy-related issues : by burning the same suffering and powerlessness in the heart of their being, so the very thought of inflicting them again brings back all the painful memories in technicolor.

Sharing the suffering is the cure to all evil, and should be made the standard retribution to any kind of offense. That would fix a lot of messed-up minds much better than any lecture ever will. There's no point wasting compassion on selfish bastards, that's just encouraging them. What they really need is to be karmically traumatized, that's what changes people.
