"....personally, I feel that a few whips of a cane on a naked body in a public square will go along way to solving over populated prisons and putting some respect back into the word punishment.....just ask the two boys who were caned for graffiti if they have used a spray can since." I too have felt this is an excellent way to lessen crime. It is no fun receiving a whip and no permanent damage is done. Saves prison costs, a great deterrent, quick and direct, not cruel as many prisoners would opt for this rather than serving time in a wretched prison. Lets hear other views. I know it would not be enacted but it makes for good discussion.
