I think we should replace incarceration for certain crimes with corporal punishment, such as canning. Ideally we would build the agony booth from the mirror universe of Star Trek.
Incarceration is overly harmful to the future of the offender. Incarceration is expensive for society. Authorities hesitate charging people with crimes for these reasons. Corporal punishment solves this.
As long as there is no long term damage, I believe the physical pain is more human than the lasting harm going to prison can cause.
I actually agree with this. I would like to see something like the Indian system where they whack people being anti social as well. Spitting on the street - instant reminder that it’s wrong. Love or hate Singapore but they have low crime and a clean country and they cane for both minor and a somewhat less minor crimes.
I don’t think it’s great to jail people for petty theft etc but there should be punishment all the same and caning seems like an option.
Most controversial opinion I’m willing to share:

Wow. That is an actually controversial take. Could not disagree more.
Go into details, if you want.
