Which countries still administer corporal punishment? And how do you feel about it?

Question

I personally would welcome public floggings, preferably on prime time TV, but is this available anywhere and can I get it on cable or digital?

Answer 1

Want it on cable? Move to Saudi Arabia or Iran. They'll hook you right up.

Answer 2

In terms of punishment in judicial and educational settings, approaches vary throughout the world. The practice has, for instance, been almost completely abandoned in Europe and North America, whilst other societies retain widespread use of judicial corporal punishment, including Malaysia and Singapore. In Singapore, male violent offenders and rapists are typically sentenced to caning in addition to a prison term. The Singaporean practice of caning became much discussed in the U.S. in 1994 when American teenager Michael P. Fay was sentenced to such punishment for an offence of car vandalism.

Corporal punishment is also dictated as an acceptable means of behavioral correction in traditional Islamic Sharia law, and applied in primarily Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran.
