Rejected petition Bring in Lashing as a punishment (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 -100 lashes) per crime

More details

Bring in LASHING as a punishment
We would have be effective deterent for crime
We would save billions in not sending people to jail community service and all related costs
People would be afraid to commit a crime becuase they would be punished rather than be told they are bad
If your old enought ot commit a crime your old enought to take the punishment
The punishment would be over and done with quickly it would be lasting and would serve as a proper punishment rather than a holiday camp/detox centre the current prison and community service etc are for small to medium crimes.
The public would not be complaining about longer jail terms and arguing over parol etc, and people would be scared to commit crime because of the effective deterent This would also free up our jail for those having long term sentences only and you can knock off a max of 2 yrs if you had 50 lashes, rather than parole
