My favorite line from Monty Python’s Life of Brian — “Nail him up I say, nail some sense into him!” I think we should abolish the 8th amendment and bring back crucifixion for all these monsters inhabiting the prisons at our expense. Cost of crucifixion? Practically nothing as many of the nails would be re-useable. When I was a prosecutor I once asked that the sentence be crucifixion. Sadly, the judge told me he didn’t have that authority.

Not so sure that would be allowed.
Someone busy body would claim that the blood diseases (aids, hepotitis etc) could or would be transmitted from nail to nail ala needles.
That would cause nail exchange programs, people would observe a nail laying on the ground and grimace, and before long finger and toe nails would be outlawed, just to ‘ensure’ our safety.
Jaywalking?
Well, at least it gets you out in the open air.
