Better than the classic hand and head chopping and tongue and eye removal. :D >Oh, but muh Caning and spanking are baad! Relative to what?

In Singapore they apparently use ratan soaked in water.

And it will be less likely they get socialized into the prison population, thus becoming hardened criminals and repeat offenders.

Yeah, that is why Heinlein advocated for flogging in SST. I think thet we have the horseshoe situation. Totalitarians like flogging because it works, rugged frontier individualistic types sdvocste for it cause it works, we just have the "middle ground" milk toast conformist sheep thst bleet...

No, I am pointing to a particular solution and saying that it probably works based on its long and extensive usage. You know who else likes nitrogen fertilizers? Hitler, zomg, ban em now...! Or some such shit.

That is quaker shit? Right? I prefer the "we do not hang horse thieves because of one theft, but to deter theft" approach. I'd say that a public flogging for doing nasty shit could be more effective in keeping down some forms of crime than others. The reason we give out punishments is to...

I prefer the classics, a bullet to the head, a noose around the neck or public impalement. A good professional impaler could make it so that the victim would not die for days.
