In Canada, they tell me, it's illegal. You can't make criminals who've offended against society repay their debt and make amends by working for the community they've offended against.
That, for Canadians, is apparently cruel and wicked. But not in Texas.
Here they get to go in a chain gang in the back of the Brookshire's supermarket.
They also have to wear striped trousers so that everyone knows they're a criminal, as they work in the brisk Texan 100* heat.
Shades of George Clooney, perhaps? Now, ask yourself, what kind of punishment would fit such a crime?
Lake Como forever.
