"An
estimated 109 billion Homo sapiens have entered terra firma
initially congregating in East Africa approx. 125,000 years ago, albeit
life expectancy and average life duration were not high relative to modern
times.
65,000 years
ago or thereabouts Homo sapiens started to migrate from East Africa to populate the planet.
Over 97% of those 109b have lived under
Retribution
by Capital Punishment and
Corporal Punishment. The majority of the
current 7.6b human population today live under Capital and Corporal punishment
edicts. Rulers in countries such as China,
India,
Singapore, Russia, Vietnam, Indonesia,
the Arab States, Malaysia, Singapore ‘et al’ opine that for some
egregious crimes jail incarceration is
costly and an ineffective
Deterrent to further behavioural transgressions.
Those countries seek to expend their
Public Purse more so on health and
educating citizens that are or will become productive taxpayers.
"Amnesty International
recorded a stark 54% increase in the number of executions carried out globally
in 2015. At least 1,634 people were executed, 573 more than in 2014.4
These numbers do not include China
EXECUTIONS
RECORDED GLOBALLY IN 2015:
Afghanistan (1), Bangladesh (4), Chad (10), China (+), Egypt (22+), India
(1), Indonesia (14), Iran (977+), Iraq (26+), Japan (3), Jordan (2),
Malaysia (+), North Korea (+), Oman (2), Pakistan (326), Saudi Arabia

Islam practices Sharia law where punishment is often carried out on a Friday,
either executions or floggings. The deterrent effect upon those required to
witness the application of punishment is cogent.
Early Capital Punishment practices
globally evidence horrific Punishments that
rulers of the era
Sentenced to
Deter
similar
transgressions from the masses by painful, frightening and often drawn
out executions in the public square.
Judicial Corporal
Punishment previously sentenced in Australia
records
some dreadfully harsh punishments inflicted even 200 years ago.
Incarceration as a
Punishment has only been sentenced by some Western
Countries, during the
last scintilla of the 65,000 years circa that Homo sapiens advanced
beyond East Africa.
Building jails to house criminal offenders for more than a holding facility,
until court hearings and corporal and capital punishment was sentenced, has only
occurred in the last 300 years and only in some countries.
Countries that have diverted from that inherent
Homo sapiens Capital Punishment
philosophy of 'Eye
for and eye' have done so only in the last scintilla of
humans (Homo erectus, Neanderthal and Homo sapiens) 2.3m years existence on
terra firma.
Great Britain, USA, Canada,
Brazil and Australia is each experiencing the
Baker's Dozen Unsustainable Problems
which are a testament that relying on jail
incarceration as the sole form of Punishment and
Deterrent has
failed in those countries."
