I was watching this show on the History Channel All these different methods of torture We have become so civilized and done away with most of them What have we replaced them with? Slavery in jail Making money for companies like Victoria's Secret 40 cents an hour Making goods real cheap We have more blacks in jail today than were slaves during slavery times The marriage rate was also much better during slavery times So where is the progress really? What is the answer if not torture or jail? I guess I would ask Norway They seem to have it done the right way

About this poem:
There were some pretty horrific punishments back in the old days. I wonder if it is not more cruel and unusual to separate a father from his family and throw him away in jail than the old day punishments.
