It costs an average of 45,000 dollars a year to imprison, feed, cloth, and gaurd a prison inmate, a man in the US can live quite comfortable on 45 thousand a year, for a family it would be tough but still. On the other hand you can feed thousands in a third world country where the US dollar is like gold. In addition jails in the USA are becoming increasingly overpopulated, so the alternative to a new system is a whole slew of new jails Considering all this could lashes or something of the sort be a viable alternative to jail time for crimes like armed robbery and minor assult, things that people commit all the time, get 5-20 years and clog the system, could corporal punishment be the answer?
