I think criminals should be tortured.

Enough is enough.

What do you think?

[Cartertonian]

Er...

...what for?

[Wolfman]

What do you think?

Nothing repeatable on Pofo.

[Oxymoron]

Prison is torture in a way

[redcarpet]

Perhaps he means daily physical abuse by prison guards?

[Oxymoron]

Or being rapped by various gang members in a none gay way?

[Section Leader]

Torture is just a waste of time and effort unless it has an actual goal (extracting confessions, information about fellow criminals etc.).

I'd just use them as forced labour.

[Murph]

Ok here's the thing.

One of the criticisms of capital punishment, is that it isn't enough of a deterrent. So how bout instead of just offing someone, we up the ante and get our money's worth?

Throw in a little bit of water-boarding with the sentence and maybe these fuckers think twice before they steal all the scrap metal out of my back-yard.

Theft of scrap metal slim? That sucks. I enjoy collecting high carbon steel. Coil springs, leaf springs, Axles if it can be turned into a knife, sword or ax I want it. So yes, why not apply a little water-boarding with the sentence instead of 2 years of probation how about 10 water boarding sessions, 10 TASER sessions and 10 sessions with the Razor strap. Make crime hurt more than just the victim!

I don't know, did that work with the Russians? No? I didn't think so. Maybe instead of trying horribly to reinvent the wheel by using ever more creative forms of torture and execution, we should just figure out what the most objectively successful prison system is and copy that. By the way, it's Norway.

[Baff]

The stocks.


This seems like a good idea to me.
humilitaed in fornt of your community.
Your victims given the opportunity to get redress.


These could make a welcome return in my opinion.

How's it going Xbow.

Yeah I had like 10 buckets full of scap copper. Easily a thousand dollars worth.

The shitty thing is that these fuckers keep coming back. I've been hit like three times.

In a sane society I'd be allowed to booby-trap my property, catch these parasites, and torture them myself. smh

Define "successful prison system."

Torture is pointless, and ineffective.

I like the idea of forced labour. I'd reduce prison times, accordingly. I'd have prisoners working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. They'd get 1 hour of TV a night(BBC World News), and nutritious, but tasteless food. They'd only be allowed visitors on the other side of a plexiglass wall(no contact). No weights or exercise equipment. No computers. The only books they'd be allowed to read are the classics(Moby Dick, etc.). In short, they'd be over-joyed to get out of prison, and repeat offenders would be less common. They'd also helping to pay their own stay in prison.

Yeah I agree, forced labor should be a given.

How bout this. Prisoners can work-off their torture. Like a voucher system. Say for every ten hours of hard manual labor, you get a "get-out-of torture free card" or something like that. Whatever they produce while working is used to re-compensate the victim.

I like it.

Define "successful prison system."

Lowest national crime rate, decreasing crime rate, and lowest rate of recidivism in the world. Norway kicks ass, and it does the opposite of what you're doing. But of course, actually following objective success is for fagots and homos, right?

[Godstud]

So what is Norway doing, that's working? I'm pretty sure it's not torture(only useful when seeking out witches).

[Wolfman]

Simple, they realize that crime is a socially caused problem, and treat their prisoners like people to be respected, instead of animals to be beaten. And what's funny about people, is that if you don't treat them like their animals, they don't act like.

[Godstud]

That makes sense. I'll have to remember to go to Norway if I want to commit a crime!

[Wolfman]

I think they'd just kick you out.

How do you know that it is because of their prison system?
