My politically incorrect thought: America might be improved if we changed nothing about the criminal justice system except added caning as a possible punishment.
Opinions?

Not afraid of prison but afraid of getting caned in public 🧐😂

i said “major” & mentioned “Asian” bc i’m extra critical of my fellow Asians. we’re kinda blunt in that way, sometimes, i guess, maybe. 🫡🙏
Please zap me I think I set it correctly
How do you find these kind of posts 😂

USA is unfathomably corrupt and SUPER evil w the criminal justice system. millions incarcerated for nothing. millions upon millions of lives & families destroyed. did you know we have privately owned prisons for those owners to make obscene profits of all this too? it goes on and on & extends to the “justice” system that aids & abets the real evil criminality with the whole criminal justice ecosystem.
😭😭😭😭 omg. 🫠🫡
Exactly. The American justice system is obscenely expensive, cruel, corrupt, and not very effective at reforming people to prevent recidivism.
e.g. California's largest employer is the prison system. Ridiculously wasteful and expensive.
Other countries have far more effective rehabilitation and education programs in prisons. For example Japan has mandatory military-like drills and education for inmates to learn discipline and life skills so they have a better chance after they are released.
I'm not a scholar on this topic so I don't have a specific formula. I just know our current system is horribly broken.
yes, totally that none of it is about reforming or crime deterrence. it’s pure cruelty & brutality. obscene for sure.
I’ve heard worse ideas in principle, but that’s a loaded one here lol
Some have argued for something like this. They say public punishment is a better example than the private way our current system employs so others can "learn from their mistakes".
Or be afraid more like it.
😳💯
Canning works well, for Singapore
I 100% appreciate the hesitancy in the replies, but there is wisdom here.
Which is more humane: imprisoning men and boys for long periods of time for minor offenses in cages where it’s common knowledge that they will likely be raped, subject to gang violence that will harden them and increase the likelihood of staying in a life of crime, etc or being publicly caned a short but meaningful number of times?
It’s certainly more dignified and would set a right many of utterly perverse incentives in the prison industrial complex.
This doesn’t even mention that the current system forces taxpayers to bear the ever increasing brunt of the care of those who have already borne the cost of their lawlessness.
Such a system can only exist in a fiat fueled world.
Not if you think the problem is over-policing of poor communities and criminalization of everyday life with more laws than one could read in a lifetime.
