Do you think corporal punishment should be reinstated in schools?

Why or why not?

Not in schools. But for nonviolent crimes i think it should be instated instead of jail and prison time that costs taxpayer money.

If someone shoplifts just beat their ass in public and call it a day. They'll stop.
@Eternity If someone is willing to commit a nonviolent crime, who will do the beating(s)? The cops? Don’t count on it. The person who was the victim? They might actually wind up on the other side of the coin with assault charges against them.
Who in their right mind would let someone publicly humiliate them?
Not a practical situation.

@soar2newhighs let? Who said anything about let?

Arrest them, charge them, sentence them that as their punishment.

Done.

Their compliance is not a factor.

Whoever is willing to shoot poison into someone's veins at the order of the state would surely also be willing to swing a cane or a whip.

Hide their identities so retaliation is impossible.

Or hell, strap them into a machine and let robot do it.


Sounds like a job for ole Bender Bending Rodriguez
@Eternity With the way society is today it’s very uncertain if this would work. We live in a very litigious world.
So if they don’t want to “ let” it happen and the route you suggest ends up with them being as you say , “ just beat their ass” connotes a form of physical punishment and I would see it as you lay it out, being administered by the “authorities” who are part of the judicial/ law enforcement entities.
You have any idea of the Pandora’s box that might open?
Our incarceration systems are intended to rehabilitate not physically punish.

@soar2newhighs lmao! What? You must live in a civilized nation.

Here in the US our prisons are places where the misguided become evil and the evil become heinous.

It is nothing but punishment. People are raped by inmates and guards, people are sold, strung out, exploited, killed, and worse.

Our prisons are all about punishment. All im saying is pur system should just drop the act and cut out the middle man. Commit to the role they are playing already.
