THE CASE FOR CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
Time-tested, Corporal Punishment eliminates
almost all crime
Looking at the
Recently, a study by Nordstaum Justice showed that all of these countries are devoting increasing portions of their budgets to locking people up. Arrest them, sentence them, and lock them away ... seems a less than elegant solution. It is in fact a completely failed system! It's a really bad idea!

Incarceration policies have all failed!

In 2015, among the 45 responding states, the total state expenditure on prisons was just under $43 billion. That's a lot of money for a system that doesn't work, and I'm not even talking about federal expenditure for their prisoners. A request of $7.56 billion for federal prisons for fiscal year of 2022 has been presented.

Jailing folks costs over $50 billion annually!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With states paying $43 billion, feds paying $7.56 billion we're looking at over $50 billion every year! I haven't counted county jails because most inmates are awaiting trial and are therefore presumed innocent for the time being. But cost is cost, and jails take up $11 billion annually.
I could go on, but why? It's obvious that '3 hots and a cot' are no deterrent to the increasing numbers of
career criminals.
They know that they'll be
housed and cared for better in prison than on the streets. The answer is not 'warehousing' inmates for a given period of time and then
unleashing them on a mostly defenseless public.
Nor is it the answer to allow them to rattle around in a prison system
that only encourages delinquency, hatred, deviance, and a grinding resentment
of society at large.
A study by the David Drake Society found that over 81% of these people will re-enter the system within 8 months of their release. The number of multiple enrollees [inmates who have been in prison more than twice] is expected to double by 2026. What we have here is a ticking time bomb that has already begun to explode in our society. From liberal-minded D.A.s to equally lenient governors and mayors, we see crime exploding in every metropolitan centre in the country.

Okay, now we can see the
forest for the trees. Our problem is
that locking folks up doesn't work. Not
counted in the cost of dollars and cents is the cost of lives, livelihoods,
society, and the damage done across the board to our humanity. Life in
What is 'cruel and unusual punishment'? Well, depending on who you are, how you were
raised, what your core beliefs are, and a host of other things, anything can be
called 'cruel and unusual'. Hell, in

Corporal punishment in the form of caning

In countries such as
Let me remind you that these nations are all highly advanced and enjoy the same level of civilization, science, and society as we do. Singaporeans enjoy one of the very highest standards of living in the world.
So; why caning and not just locking people up? The figures speak for themselves. Not only do inmates cost an average of $39,780 a year to keep them locked up, but the majority of them only learn how to become more efficient and unfeeling criminals than they were when they first got locked up!

What if a criminal knew that he wouldn't necessarily have '3 hots and a cot' [3 hot meals a day and a bed to sleep in] to look forward to but instead a beating! Controlled and medically supervised caning leaves an indelible impression on the minds and buttocks of would-be offenders. There's a whole lot more reason not to commit a crime if you know you'll be beaten across the ass with a cane.
A co-deterrent is the permanent scarring and possibility of trauma induced neuropathy. That neuropathy is a pain or itch that is 'forever'. There is no cure, but it is treatable with generic drugs such as gabapentin. In most cases the pain or itch can be controlled to satisfactory levels.
What about this? If we had caning as a regular form of punishment, our jails and prisons would stop growing and, as inmates are released or die in the care of the corrections department, we'd see jails and prisons being emptied and then torn down. Why keep all of these jails and prisons if there aren't enough inmates to populate them? It's simply an issue of supply and demand.

It all about 'supply and demand'

Less crime resulting in fewer arrests and convictions means far fewer people going to jail or prison. I know, your uncle works as a corrections officer [that's fancy talk for prison guard or 'jailer'] and he might lose his job.
Okay that's a possibility but given that the average prison guard has a 9th grade education, an IQ around 97~99, and an 84% chance of divorce in the first year of his employment, your uncle and others like him may still find rewarding careers in janitorial service, fast food, and warehouse work. In the end caning could well be the answer to a long-standing desire for something that actually works for our justice system. How about it?
I'm Max, and that's the way I see it!
