He's wrong! Everyone on that list should be executed - not in prison!
The idea might fly if the SEIU can
incorporate all lashor’s into their
Union.
I'd pay to see some legislators get
the lash for lying. Could reduce
the deficit.
My son and girlfriend were pulled over Wednesday night for “following too close”, officer arrested both of them for oustanding traffic violations. Thrown in the county jail until family bails them out. (Yes, over Thanksgiving holiday). Yes, the prison system has become a huge money maker for some. (County prosecuter with financial ties to prison food vending company) The present “Correctional” system is not correcting anybody and making huge profits for those with “connections”.
A couple of decades ago an American kid in (I think) Singapore was caught spray painting graffiti and was sentenced to the lash. America was scandalized. But on the plane into Singapore there was an orientation lecture. No gum, no graffiti, etc. The laws and penalties were explained. The sentencing was on the news nightly and the whole thing was followed like the OJ trial. After the sentence had been carried out the news commentator, who had flown over special so he could have local color in the background, was explaining how barbaric it was, but he ended his piece with, “Well, I bet he never does THAT again. Back to you, Walter.” It hit me that, no, he wouldn’t. And that should be the point of any punishment.
What scares me is there will be attempts to ‘balance’ the punishments by including a sufficient amount of Caucasians, for example, to ensure “fairness;” whether it is Caucasians committing the offenses or not.
One lash? Seriously, one lash?? - Get freaking real
I think that spanking criminals would help with their lack of impulse control.
“Still, the state of our prisons has become something of a scandal. We have more prisoners today than we have soldiers, and more prison guards than Marines. “
I question that old canard. Per http://www.cis.org/ImmigrantCrime
“The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that 26.4 percent of inmates in federal prisons are non-U.S. citizens. Non-citizens are 8.6 percent of the nation’s adult population.”
That’s a big number.
There is also a government/corporate medical-complex, and it makes the PIC look like a piker.

The idea of a corporal punishment (like caning) has appeal.
But for the lesser crimes, I’d like to see many of the convicted put into hard labor situations.
You punch in at 7:00AM and punch out at 5:00PM. They spend their time picking up trash, shovelling snowy sidewalks for senior citizens, sweeping gutters, cleaning graffiti, etc.
Their entire day revolves around being put to work - serious work. I’m not talking about community service here. I’m talking serious work.
The leftist aka progressives really get off on catch phrases, and buzz words. Prison industrial complex? Military industrial complex? How about the educational industrial complex? How about the transportation industrial complex? Anytime you have government doing things. You will have a industry built around it.
If you want to avoid increasing the prison industrial complex. Simply stop breaking the law!
I agree with him.
CA public sector is managed primarily as an ‘ATM’ for the Rats
