I've always said they should bring back the stocks for minor crimes. Make it public. Shame is a hell of a punishment

Only in high-trust (that means mostly white) societies

Mixed ethnicity societies are low trust

Stocks and public flogging where never considered cruel or unusual.

Most common cause of putting someone in the stocks or flogging included; public drunkenness, wife beating, fighting, do-no-goodery, ect.
