PT6A posted:I disagree on the "public executions" part, but it's really hard to argue with the concept that corporal punishment that didn't inflict lasting injury would be better than the system currently in place in the US. Granted, there are many, many better options than both, but if we're just comparing the two... well, it's impossible to not reach a very uncomfortable conclusion, in my opinion. It's not really all that uncomfortable to me, just weird - ask anyone if they'd rather spend a year in a US jail or get 10 lashes. Personally I would expect a near unanimous result. I'm not sure where the line would have to be where people start choosing jail. Presuming that a doctor would oversee it and stop it if it became life threatening, I would genuinely support prisoners being given the choice between lashes and the current system, it'd be a strict improvement.
