Why not a British foreign legion? Deserting forbidden under threat of death. Or a national working service. Chaingangs. Camping in abandoned industrial compounds. I mean: after all a court penalty is not intended to be a pleasurable experience, or am I wrong? Poor Britain, you are too civilised, like we all are, but counting your many messes I sometimes think you are leading the pack in this regard. Was it really you calling an empire your own, once, long ago?

The behaviorist part of my psychologist's soul could yell about this. It teaches especially young offenders exactly the wrong lessons: you will get away with it, and more easily and convenient in the future. Poor Britain, you will pay dearly for this.
