To add, I think the writers stretched somethings out, but you guys are actively implying "No hope. No redemption." The writers arent great at it, but those ideas is practically worse.

Regina didn't go to prison as Snow saw that Regina was imprisoned for a long time by her hatred. She practically imprisoned herself for 28 years just to "punish the others". Those guys do suggest imprisoning her, but they see that she's trying to change and they had ample opportunity to do anything else.

Even still, every love interest dies and she ends up with a job she really didn't want in the first place. But she's only happy because she finally realized that her hatred and self-loathing was a prison unto itself.

But let's watch that other show where the Evil Queen goes on trial and evevry season we have a case that snds the bad guy to the Bottomless Pit because "No bad deed goes unpunished. Good night, everybody!" is a great message.
