Would you support FLOGGING for petty crimes?
Okay, let's get real for a second... Every year, billions are spent warehousing people for petty crimes/minor drug dealing/possession/you name it... Not only does it cost money to shelter and feed these people, they also get "hardened" in prison and end up going back after they've done worse crimes.
Instead of spending all those resources and destroying lives, why not just FLOG (public caning like in Singapore) these petty offenders.
Less expensive, less exposure to hardened criminals, less systemic pressures. ALSO, there's a public aspect which might have a deterrent effect... but that's just a bonus.
What do you guys think?
