No argument from me...
Chinas laws and Sharia law are a lot harsher than ours, and they also have a lot less crime.
I'm not advocating we adopt their methods, but I would like to see:
No more extended time on death row.
No more Club Fed for white collar crime - one set of prisons for non-violent criminals, and another set for violent ones.
All criminals would work an 8 hour day - better behaviour gets the better jobs.
Cable TV would be allowed - but only the Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, Science Channel, and whatever one Martha Stewart is on.
Perhaps caning would work as well.
