I always loved how the English once used this. Painful and humiliating.

Instead of wasting taxpayers money on giving 3 hots and a cot to every petty criminal, just go back to using this.

Street drug dealer? 50 lashes
Property crime? 80 lashes
Assault and battery? 100 lashes

Leave prison for more serious offenders and white collar criminals.

Hell use lashes for the death penalty for heinous crimes like mass shooters and child molestors.

Normally, I'd be all for this.

But the results on the one American I know of didn't turn out so great.

Michael Fay - Got lashes with Singapore cain for graffiti vandalism

Dude returned to the US and immediately started getting in trouble again. It's a shitty sample size, but it's what I got.

I blame Singapore for only giving him four lashes instead of the six he was originally sentenced for.

I bet he wouldn't have gotten in trouble in Singapore again though. He knew he wasn't going to get any more lashes over here.

Punishment like this can work, but the greater the latency between the crime and the punishment and the more limited corrective feedback is (if at all), the less likely it is to decrease behavior, which is the definition in operant conditioning.

Maybe he would have been less likely, but the lack of generalization indicates it probably wasn't as effective as you're implying.

Hell - I'd like to see the stocks used more too - public humiliation.
