The film The Godfather is not a film that I would personally associate with justice, at least not my personal view of justice. The reason that I say this is because I know that Bonasera's view of justice was skewed by the way that the justice system had so clearly failed him and his family. Seeing this change in the way Bonasera's view of justice from just wanting the offenders to spend time in jail to wanting the Godfather to physically hurt or kill them, shows me how unreliable justice could be. One never knows if or how skewed another person's perception of justice could be. But it is my belief that most people in Bonasera's situation, including my self would have probably wanted to have reacted in a similar if not exact manner.
Bonasera's reasoning for not coming to the godfather when he first came to America is that he wanted to start fresh as a new citizen. He could have been part of the mob back in Italy and he came to America to get away from crime. When Bonasera goes to Don Corleone to ask for his assistance one can tell that it is very hard for him to have to go back to the crime that he tried so hard to leave behind. Corleone on the other hand finds it very easy to let Bonasera into the family. All that he has to do is to call Corleone "Godfather," get on a knee, and kiss his ring. This is the ultimate sign of being dominated and part of the family.
I think the way that Socrates reacted to his imprisonment and sentence is the way that someone who is guilty should act. One who is innocent would and should try to be released. The means by which Crito wanted to help is justifiable but that does not make it right. Crito would have been with Bonasera in the way that he was going to obtain his justice. Socrates on the other hand would say that this idea for justice is wrong and would destroy the state.
