I assume the stocks stopped being used for some reason - I don't know what it was but it must have been a good argument at the time.

While I agree with the sentiment, and lots of other 'short sharp shock' treatments rather than useless incarceration and even more useless 'offender rehabiliation' programmes, I think I would like to see evidence that it did work before I jump on the bandwagon. There is not much point in having yet another device for making the criminals worse!

Iron Maiden though - now your talking! And make the worst offenders listen to Slipknot and Marilyn Manson as well...;-)
