paddling as alternative or requirement in jails
What about corporal punishment. I am not talking about sexual, or unusual or
cruel punishment here, just the use of good solid paddlings with paddles designed to inflict severe enough pain to make the recipient have a good cry and instill remorse, and/or at least avoidance of future paddlings. What has been running through my head is not so much home paddlings. These are still pretty much up to parents, even if the laws vary. What I am thinking about is in jails and prisons. We have discussed in schools before. I believe they belong there, but under good guidelines to be sure students are not hurt, or abused in the process and that it is crystal clear to the student and those that observer the paddling the reasons for it and how to avoid it in the future! In the penal system it is different. I think it can be assumed that the overwhelming majority of people there have earned punishment. What I am thinking is that corporal punishment should be an option, or requirement. For example, in juvenile cases, many courts and jails are overflowing. Many of these kids are released without any correction. I think that often a good public intense paddling, which leaves no scars or permanent physical injury would be a good option to expensive, and ineffective jail time where the kids learn other criminal trades. make other criminal friends, or learn the juvie, may be a better place to be than home or the street! Most kids well paddled, do not want to repeat the experience. A short trip from the court room to a public paddling station, a good cry and a few days of tenderness in the bottom before being released, might prevent many otherwise good kids from becoming repeat offenders. To carry this further, I think that it might be a much more effective way of dealing with criminals, to either substitute corporal punishment for jail time, or at least to ad it to the jail time. For example, if a convicted crime, carried with it two good paddlings, one on entry into the penal system, and a second on the day or release, to remind the person to stay out of jail, this might be more of a deterant that the jail time itself. As always I believe this needs to be public. In the jails, paddlings should be given in front of other inmates. And as an important way of controling inmates, paddlings for acts done in prison, would be appropriate, and sometimes would be the only way of correcting "lifers" or other inmates who have nothing to lose by bad behavior. In schools, it is effective. Those of us who are older and had paddlings, I think gained from them. A few minutes with that paddle and we changed our behavior. Months of suspensions, home watching tv or roaming the streets have far far less effect on students than a good paddling! Thanks Sister Sharon http://www.e-lovestories.com |
