What is the point of all this torture that so many of us are advocating? What good comes of it?
What about the Human Resources problem? Who would be hired to do these awful things?
The only people alive who would be willing to break someone on the rack, bury someone in a hole, impale them for birds to pick at or abuse a human being in such manners as have been described in this thread would have to be a deranged criminal himself. The lunatics would be dishing out the "justice". Who dishes out the justice to the justice-dishers after that?
You certainly couldn't hire someone to do these things and then let them out on the street afterwards.
I know there is a certain amount of "internet tough guy" bravado going on here and some people are just trying to amp up the "I can think of something more cruel to do than the last guy", but come on now, this is crazy talk.
And what about the dreaded "NIMBY" problem?
"I appreciate that we need penitentiaries, but my family has been farming this land for nearly a hundred yards. My granddad would roll over in his grave if we allowed the province to build a sexual-assault bunker on Johnson's quarter section. That is prime farm land".
