We need to bring back the pillory or the whipping post for things like this. Cheaper, faster, more efficient, and they don’t forget.

This guy is a total loser know, but what if the first time he got busted for shoplifting or some other minor crime, he was taken out behind the courthouse and given five lashes?

I am not saying it is appropriate in all cases, or for all crimes, but it seems to me that locking this POS up for 30 years just means that the taxpayers are going to have to feed and clothe him for that amount of time.

He’s probably going to be just as comfortable there as he would be anywhere else, and the food comes hot and on time.

Bump for the return of the pillory or whipping post part. That could be more effective than small jail terms for some people with misdemeanors and lighten the load on overcrowded prisons.

Plus, sometimes a spanking works more effectively than being sent to a room or a corner.
