What country has had success with this eye-for-an-eye approach?
This is an age old question - surely there are examples of whether it works or not and what the true costs are to the society.
I can see where it failed - where has it worked?

Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, especially Singapore since they have a strong economy and high literacy and graduation rates.
any place will be considered by any others as "lacking freedom" when you compare what you can and cannot do.
