Punishing them will male them more depressed and they will care even less than before.

But it costs a fortune. I suggest giving them a mild flogging. Nothing serious, just enough to make the retribution and vengeance crowd happy. Then save 90k a year and don't incarcerate them at all. Just sentence them to X years of massive injections of anti depressants. Make them as timid, flaccid and cheerful as the middle class.

Bwaharrrrr....thanks for the humour Tussock....this will be printed off and hung in my man cave......

PS, im looking for ash now (whittle, whittle)
