Prisons impose tremendous costs, yet they're easily ignored.
Criminals-- even low-level nonviolent offenders-- enter our
dysfunctional criminal justice system and disappear into a morass
that's safely hidden from public view. Our "tough on crime"
political rhetoric offers us no way out, and prison reformers are
too quickly dismissed as soft on criminals. Meanwhile, the taxpayer
picks up the extraordinary and unnecessary bill.
"In Defense of Flogging" presents a solution both radical and
simple: give criminals a choice between incarceration and the lash.
Flogging is punishment: quick, cheap, and honest.
Noted criminologist Peter Moskos, in irrefutable style, shows
the logic of the new system while highlighting flaws in the status
quo. Flogging may be cruel, but "In Defense of Flogging" shows us
that compared to our broken prison system, it is the lesser of two
evils.
