Inspired by the Suggestion of Slavery, I Have Another One...
I say we should take all the first offence murderer/rapists and put them in Northern Alaska during the winter. The sun is not up so they can't tell the direction that way. It's cold, not so cold that they are freezing but cold enough to where the temperature will eventually kill them. We also make sure that it is a bear/wolf infested area. We tell them that to the North, anywhere form one-half a mile to one-hundred miles away is the nearest outpost that will take you in.
Here is thier decision.
A 500 Smith and Wesson with 14 bullets.
or
A really nice fur coat.
or
A compass.
If they make it through the ordeal, than they are probably changed for it.
If not, 2nd offence is in the middle of the African Bush. 3rd offence is the middle of the Sahara desert. 4th offence is the middle of outer space.
What do you think?
