No, judicial corporal punishment is illegal everywhere in the U.S.
However, i think it would be a good idea. Most prisons are overcrowded, and they cost taxpayers millions of dollats each year. Not to mention that they're rather inhumane wiht all the rape and violence that occurs in U.S. prisons. I think Canings (or some other corporal punishment) could be an excellent alternative. Not to mention that it might be a good deterrent, especially if they were carried out in public.

Sometimes I wish they would for it would be a hell lot quicker economically feasible and painful then compared to the accused going to trial and suffer prison.
