Remember Michael Fay? Does caning sound familiar? {Gadling}

Nov 25th 2008 10:31AM I think we need a physical punishment before the death penalty which is the ultimate physical punishment. This would work especially for the younger offenders and the repeat offenders. It would be better than a stint in jail in some cases because it is done and they can go on with things without being around other criminals. It is drastic, and as such would be a great deterrant. Maybe if some of the criminals were caned, they wouldn't go on to have to have the death penalty.
