I used to be a heavy proponent of punishment, and heavy punishment at that, but as I have aged, I have become more pragmatic- simply put, I am for whatever can be proven to humanely reduce crime, especially in the repeat offence department- now for murderers, rapists, violent assholes and the like, I am still all for execution by rotary excising catheter, but for the rest, the question that is important is (to rough quote a clockwork orange, ) Does it work?= if this can be shown to reduce dramaticly repeat offences, and make criminals into productive members of society, then I am all for it.....
