The High Costs of Prisons
Prisons incur enormous costs, but are often ignored. Even small, non-violent criminals disappear into our dysfunctional justice system, which remains hidden from the public. Political rhetoric promoting 'tough on crime' offers no solution. At the same time, reformers are quickly labeled as soft, while the taxpayer foots the exorbitant bill.
A Radical Alternative: In Defense of Flogging
This book offers a surprising solution: criminals get the choice between prison and corporal punishment. Flogging is a quick, cheap, and fair form of punishment.
