I think prison has a role to play — but I would like prison sentences to be very rare. I don't think prison is terribly effective.

I like various forms of corporal punishment. People should experience extreme psychological trauma which really burns the key idea into their brain: “I should not have done what I did.”

I also like capital punishment. There are a great many people whose behavior is an indication that they ought to be permanently removed from society.

There is very little about our current justice system that I like.

I favor public humiliation therapy. Years ago I remember reading about a guy who was caught burglarizing a house. Some neighbors caught him and hog tied i=him in the front yard. It took hours for the police to arrive and that time was spent by the neighbors humiliating him.

A variation of the stocks is in order for low level crimes. Perhaps on the back of a flatbed truck where the malefactor is driven around the neighborhood. Rotten fruit and stinky buckets of water may also be appropriate.

“.....There is very little about our current justice system that I like.”

I agree.
