Its just not going to happen. besides the fact its been rule cruel and unusual, or surely would be, todays society would not tolerate it. Essentially society is happy thinking criminals are punished, when the reality is, there are a myrid of "outs" provided to criminals of that punishment, including - if they dont agree to comply, there is no real recourse. Your drivers license can only be suspended once, only so many of your fines can be put into collections, before its considered a non issue by said criminal.
