Summary In defense of flogging poses a simple question: given the choice between prison and the lash, wouldn't you choose the lash? Incarceration is long, torturous, and psychologically destructive, whereas flogging--though admittedly brutal--is a short burst of searing pain. By giving offenders the option of exchanging time behind bars for the lash, we can punish criminals, save money, spare families, and ensure that justice is served.
