Now they just think o well its only jail i get all my food paied for and i get treated like a saint. In England anyway. Why arnt they beaten? They should be punished not given items of luxury (Sky tv and double bed) |
Crime isn't cut dramatically by the death penalty. It has actually been found to have no more of a deterent effect than a long prison sentence.
The reason they aren't beaten is because we are a civilized society, not a society where the police are given the right to abuse people. The punishment of prison is not a physical punishment as such its a social punishment - by being cut-off from society and essentially losing years of their lives.
