We Need Cruel and Unusual Punishment
- 100100010001 7y agoThe author needs to do some self-reflection. The idea doesn’t hold water. Caning has all the punishment of a long term jail sentence? Someone is divorced from reality
- tomohawk 7y agoThis seems a bit strongly stated. However, it doesn't make sense that corporal punishment is off the table. Why is the same punishment prescribed for pretty much every crime, only varying the duration? From what I can tell, Singapore uses corporal punishment in an escalating sense - to deter criminal behavior before it becomes ingrained. So, for 1st or 2nd time offenders. Putting a pedophile in prison? Of course the pedo will not be a problem there - there are no children to molest!
