It shouldn't be forgiven.  |
Well, in my country caning is used against sex offenders. For instance, a common punishment for a man who raped his own daughter or other children will be an imprisonment of 7 to 20 years, with 3 or 4 strokes of caning. But the caning is done one stroke at a time, with the next stroke carried out after the first wound has healed. Also, the amount of strokes indicted depends on the person's health and age. Sometimes we have a 70-year-old grandfather raping his own granddaughter. In this case he might only receive life imprisonment without the caning.
But because of the severity of the punishment, judges usually are hesitant to rule out the verdict. So we might have real sex offenders released on a technicality or insufficient evidence, fundamentally because the judges rather set people free than to have the wrong guy convicted. |

No matter how much I reason in the name of human rights, my heart cannot accept it, so yes, with the right application, I do not think judicial corporal punishment such as the one I mentioned, is so cruel that it is unacceptable.
Heck, if it was up to me, I cut his thing off! And because of this, I believe this matter of punishing sex offenders must be given to a person who can be objective in his rulings/judgment. |

LOL, Nina -- Your nickname is hereafter "Judge Dredd". hehe
If I'm not mistaken, courts here have ordered -- in dire cases, like a particularly heinous sexual crime or with repeat offenders -- that the sexual predator have his testicles removed.
Either the gonads are removed, or he's neutered like a dog... not sure which.
Either way, these guys are sort of turned into eunuchs.

| Can eunuchs still feel arousal? If they do, there's no point in cutting them. |

Well, I don't know about that. Lots of men feel arousal around 3am Sunday morning after a night on the booze, but can they do anything about it? Not usually.  |

ROFL
there's a phrase for that condition, Molly (and it's PG-13 or worse, so parental guidance is suggested):
