That's the prison system. Caning is also a heavily supported and pervasive component of their education system. http://www.corpun.com/counsgs.htm http://www.corpun.com/counsgs.htm I get the disbelief - I can't imagine anyone caning my daughter either. Here in Costa Rica nobody is legally allowed to hit her. As a child in Australia lots of teachers and principals were legally enabled to hurt me. Some parts of the world lag way behind in basic human decency and rights and cling to violent solutions even when today we know they're ineffective - my state ditched such punishment before I was a teenager. If you moved to parts of the Middle East you could take your boy to public beheadings ... by governments, not just ISIS.
