Alternatives to prison...

[blueta2]

I actually agree with you to a point. My theory is we should bring back public execution, preferably by guillotine. It should be public, it should be humiliating, and it should be horrifyingly gruesome. I think it should be televised and I think watching a public execution should be mandatory for young high schoolers.

I absolutely think a public spanking or a day in the stocks might do more to straighten out some of young would be criminals than any amount of detention time in juvenile hall.

Unfortunately, regarding your idea on prisons. I live in Pennsylvania and that's exactly what was tried in Eastern State. Solitary confinement spent in contemplation of the bible, no speaking, no contact with anyone, was the conditions the prisoners were kept in there and they had an appalling number of them go insane.

Drug dealing should not be a crime, in my opinion

here's one, how about we induce a chemical coma, and simply put them in isolation.. say for 5-20 years, when they come out, their physical being will function, however the muscle tone will be very little..

Forcing them into a 1 on 1 extended conversation with Lestat on his many philosophies on life is one alternative. Certainly unusual, possibly cruel.

We should all be imbedded with microchips and tracking devices. There should be cameras everywhere. Even in our homes. There should be checkpionts every few blocks or so. And we should have to file a daily activities report to the government on a bi weekly basis.
