The fear of imprisonment does not deter a violent person. The proof is that prisons are filled with repeat violent offenders, they have returned to enjoy the luxury of prison life after being released many times. Prisons offer good food and shelter with a standard of living that exceeds the national norm. It is not punishment that most inmates receive but an education in the benefits of good living. This must come to an end. Violent offenders should be immediately released after a good ass whipping and told that they will get another one if they violate the civil rights of any person again. I am sure if this policy is put into effect violent crimes will become almost non-existent and the streets will be safe once again.
Politicians are talking about establishing new social controls and eliminating violence in America by federally funding a five hundred billion dollar youth education program. They hope that it would produce millions of young community organizers who would go into crime ridden cities and teach wayward young Americans the correct way to air their grievances. It may sound like a creative program to naive people,but the only thing it would produce is a bigger federal budget and even more violent crime.
The fear of a good ass-whipping was so great in the minds of students in my public school classes that seldom was there any bad behaviour. But times have changed and teachers have lost the best method of controlling a school bully or disruptive student. The proof is in the classroom disruptions that are now taking place in early education classes. I once thought that the old wisdom of: "Spare the rod and spoil the child" was cruel but it worked.
I advocate that we release all violent offenders to the watchful eyes of parole officers who will be responsible to whip their ass if they commit a violent crime. Past societies have proven that nobody will commit a crime if threatened with the certainty of a good ass-whipping. Prisons or prisoners were rare in those days. Lets be realistic and have a good spanking take the place of expensive and wasteful prisons.

Post a CommentWell writen but your facts about prison life is not correct. but I see your into the tarot and so am I so I shall go read some of your other work :-)
Of course the bleeding hearts are going to disagree, but here's how I see. By refusing to control the real criminals our government needs to control the populace. So what is it? Get tough on violent crime or keep adding more regulations to our life? As far as I see it, I don't have enough freedom to waste to cowtow to the bad guys.
The philosophy of lighter discipline (if any at all) has given us nothing but snotty, egotistical kids who talk back to their parents, don't have any direction in life, and react badly to the slightest criticism. It doesn't work. It's one reason our jails are fuller than ever. People will do as much as they know they can get away with.
