As for wether or not she is being mentally scarred, the reason she resorted to fusion was because she pretty much went crazy trying to beat Garnet, and realized there was really only one solution. Lapis imprisoning both her and Jasper just goes along with how cruel this is. She is willing to hurt herself to make Jasper as miserable as possible instaid of mabye actually trying to reason with her or something. However, you did make a good point on not knowing much about her past, but that is pretty much the same with all war, not to mention, as I said, she respects the laws of war. As I've said, morality is really fickle. If a person killed someone so they could feed his/her family. And that person was sent to life in prison. Do you think the person should be released? Because in the eyes of him/herself and their family or some people, they did nothing "wrong" because it was needed to keep their family alive, even though they did snuff out a life that was just minding their own business. Saying that Jasper deserves it is really a hard thing to answer.

If Jasper was willing to respect the laws of war she wouldn't have resorted to what she thought was cheap, she would've gone down like a respectable warrior. If she was even an honorable warrior, she wouldn't have gone crazy. She should've known to either take fight or flight. But she sees flight as a form of cowardice when it's really not. Flight need not always mean to surrender but rather putting off the fight to another day. So she chose to fight, and she chose to use the cheapest trick in her book. She would've also respected the Gems the fell in the past war, instead of experimenting on them. Forming atrocities that are wrong on so many levels.

I can agree that Lapis maybe cruel. But I'm pretty sure if the tables were reversed there would no longer be a Lapis Lazuli. Lapis could've easily trapped Jasper without having to fuse but she chose the one where Jasper would suffer the pain of being trapped for eons just as she was in the mirror but at the cost of her feeling the same pain again.
