Sluggers said its complicated, and you bet your a$$ it is. If you were a fly on the wall from the crime itself, to the arrest, to the investigation, to the trial, to the BS, to the chamber deals, to the "interested party" phone calls, it would turn your stomach. Prisons are full, sentences are too short, and it costs a ton to incarcerate.
Which is why I have no problem with corporal punishment as a viable solution. Think about it. If your community employed a whip or cane as part of punishment, so 20 lashes/strikes & 2 years in jail as opposed to the next town over where the maximum punishment is 2 years, where do you think the criminals are going to go?
