these are big things

can you put yourself in his head

and do that

well yeah my next question to you is what criteria are you defining by

imagine yourself going through with those things, what are you thinking

what is your goal

pink undies

humiliation and spectacle

he has a retributive view of state punishment. that's not invalid. he wants to humiliate

benefit?

its not just any humiliation though

but that is one of the "classical" purposes of legal punishment

does that mentality fit with indignity and the trifling nature of the punishment?

both dont reconcile

also, he is inconsistent

the retributive actions are in a limited spectrum of criminals

well I don't have the weird western taboo for the color pink so idk

again

it wouldn't bother me

not thinking right

doesn't matter does it

whether it bothers you

think about effect and intent

Making jail unpleasant and humiliating is reasonable

pink undies is not simply humiliation either

its also a PR move

It is

its calculated for a certain impact

That's true

look, I am brazenly humiliating these people

He's a self promoter

*crowd cheers*

yeah to keep prisoners from feeling "hard"

tell me

would this actually do anything to the prisoners

like a "I'm the hard man" message

would they ACTUALLY be humiliated

significantly?

Yeah

its possible some would

Plus they're in the heat
