It always brought a smile to my face to see the way they did it in the old days:

Give the convict a shovel.
Have the convict dig a hole.
put the convict in the hole.
Put a steel grate over the hole.
When the sentence is done, take the grate off.

Seriously though, what the world needs is

More Bars
More Walls
More Guards

Who ever said that criminals were stupid? You are underestimating your enemy, and will learn to regret it. Criminals find loopholes in counselling, management, and community programs and inititatives.

Hey, you get easy treatment if you say you are addicted to drugs? Suddenly, every fucking guy is a drug addict.
Hey, you had a tough childhood and your environment tuned you to crime, so here is a special program to release you early? Suddenly everyone is a victiim of incest.

I would like to see people do their full sentence, and have judges increase the sentences. Then, when people see that their actions have very serious consequences, they will reconsider.

The current system is simply not a deterent for crime. Is punishment supposed to be a deterent? I think so.

And no, I am not advocating we put convicts in holes. It just makes me smile, and I thought I would share so that the dear reader could understand my ethical views.

Maybe if the treatment was inhumane, it would be a great deterent, but I agree with the philosophy that a society is measured by how it treats its convicts.

Long, humane sentences. IMHO
