Which is more humane sitting in a jail cell or receiving lashes with a bull-whip?

[Edit]

I guess thats my point, if you would prefer jail, then lashes would be a much better deterrant to criminal activity. Hearing or seeing someone being lashed for selling drugs might make one think before doing it themselves. By virtue of the number of repeat offenders in prison it is obvious that the current penal system doesn't work.

Jail Cell or Lashes

Sitting in a jail cell. I can't imagine how much it would burn in your memory to hear that person screaming!

Answer

Unless you are into S & M a small jail cell works!
