...coated in horsehair so it will leave more scars. It is also wielded by a martial arts master to make sure the strikes are as hard and acurate as possible! If only that American punk had known about the punishment, he might not have been so keen on vandalism. I agree with punishment but only to an extent that does NOT deform the participant. There is an economic benefit to imprisonment; we can use them for labor (and do) without paying them a fair wage.
