Let's just say it wasn't well received. Few people presented any logical arguments against the proposal, but the majority found it "unpalatable".

Interesting read. I like the idea. Surely there are some crimes for which such a punishment is not applicable (either too harsh or not harsh enough) but it seems like it would fit the bill for many crimes. I'm thinking especially property/drug crimes.
