3. Punishment ought in no case to be more than what is necessary to Bring it into conformity with the rules here give–This rule marks out the limits on the maximum side, while the previous three concern the minimum side. Bentham argues that while the danger of erring on the minimum side is greater, tendency to err of most men in on the maximum side, tendency to over-punish.  Thus more precautions should be taken with regard to maximum punishments.  This is because punishment is, in and of itself, an evil. And we ought to be careful to admit that evil only when it prevents a greater evil.  So there are times when we should not punish.
 
Consider the following questions:
1. When the punishment is groundless: where there’s no evil for it to prevent.
2. When it can’t prevent further evil.
3. When the evil it would produce is greater than what it prevented.
4. When it is needless: where the mischief may be prevented, or cease itself, without it: that is at a cheaper rate.
