Or Hydrochloric Acid. I love that shit.
If this were truly an eye for an eye, the convict should be blinded and the victim should have his wife be cheated on.
Also, why the fuck does everyone throw acid at eachother. Jesus christ it's like every fucking week you hear of someone throwing acid in someone's face for some reason/

jeez that must hurt like crazy...[/QUOTE]
Actually you only need a little bit of acid to denature the proteins on your eyes permanently.

Knowing the Muslim torture practices, I doubt they'll settle for only a few droplets
Am I the only one who doesnt have a problem with this? If someone threw acid in your eyes and made you blind, wouldnt you want the same thing to happen to him too? If someone intends to do someone else harm he deserves the same treatment.

Im sure fathers of murdered children would want atrocities done to the culprit, doesnt justify it. The goal should be to rehabilitate criminals, the prison system just creates a culture of crime.
I would have hoped the man that was originally blinded would have shown some virtue and asked for this to be called off. I know he must be pissed to have lost his sight, but a punishment like that is barbaric. He should be given a long prison sentence, obviously. But to have acid dropped in his eyes is horrific.
I'm not opposing this

But wouldn't people be MORE willing to commit crime if they knew that instead of having to go to prison or something like that, they would just be "rehabilitated".

Well unfortunately you're wrong because that's why criminals try to plead as "insane" so they don't have to go to prison.

well you know the whole idea behind rehabilitation is that afterward they don't feel inclined to commit a crime. You can never stop a crime being committed if the criminal is determined enough, the only thing we can do is deal with the aftermath.
I don't see the difference between eye for an eye and going to prison specifically to get raped and beaten
They're both backwards physical deterrents.
To anyone who advocates one but not the other: please explain to me why

I advocate prison as a method of exclusion from society and rehabilitation into said society. The small chance of being raped or beaten isn't really up to the judges.

Actually no I'm not and don't tell me I am unless you actually have a reason behind it.

PfftahahHAHAHAHAAH! It doesn't work like that. Criminals actually make connections in prisons, learn new ways of committing crimes and generally become far more dangerous after serving the sentence.

you know why? because the prison system is shitty.
[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;26707348]you know why? because the prison system is shitty.[/QUOTE]
This.
The recidivism rate wouldn't be so ridiculously high if our prison system wasn't stupidly inept and run by pricks who believe revenge is justice. Of course the really bad folks are the ones who view it as a business. The state pays the private company a certain amount of money per prisoner, so they are inclined to shove as many prisoners into a single location as possible while spending as little as possible on them.
Don't get me wrong, I'd certainly want to murder someone if they hurt me or my family in any significant fashion, but I'm under no illusion that such an action would be justice.
What is with middle eastern people and hurling acid, not to generalize but it may as well be a national sport for all the countries in the middle east.
Maybe it could be an event in the Olympics?

maybe so, but that isn't the fault of the prison concept, it's the fault of the prison institution.
