127. Yeah, I think convicted criminals deserve corporal punishment
like they have in some countries like Singapore. And prisoners don't need some of the perks they have such as TV, gyms, etc. And we should do more to keep them from attacking each other too. Prisons should be more like Tent City in Arizona.

And I feel we should have much more aggressive prosecution of corporate criminals and big-time tax evaders.

I suppose I'm in a law and order mood today. But I would also decriminalize marijuana and prostitution and use the death penalty only in extreme circumstances. Timothy McVeigh is an extreme circumstance. The guy who catches his wife in bed with his neighbor and kills them both is not.
