suspended

Now when I think of this term, several things come to mind.
In school, suspension meant, just that to extend out. There were in school suspension where you continued punishment in a room not in your regular classes and out of school, where most disruptive students really ached to be anyway.
Suspension, is in frozen in time or body.

I would like to think also; suspension being like a bridge, being held up by rope, wire, or cable. So in this sense, a suspended senetence could or in some cases should be 10 years suspended by the toes or the neck, or whatever.

In a recent case, a child molester got 40 years with 10 suspended, leaving 30 with possible half off for good behavior. I think it unlikely that upon completing 15 years in prison, he's going to be up and ready for the challenge of "impulse-free" living in society. Uh, no. How about suspended in a spinning ride, where the occupants are flung so hard with centrifical force that they are unable to move from the edge. I will agree to suspend you in a state of 365.25 days in spin 'n' puke with variable oscilation and indidual modulation, complete with 24 hour continuance regardless of weather. Now, to this I would agree. The man finsihes in 1 year after his 15 or so in the prison, without having to worry about probation. Of course, the "worry" then would be that he'd be a veritible mindless drone or vegetable, but I'm willing to live with that. A willless body isn't likely to commit more crimes.

If that seems like cruel and unusal punishment, then I suggest:
15 years mine disposal or
prompt execution or
parole upon reaching 76th birthday or
40 years (no early parole) hard labor such as 16-hour days of textile work or foundry work
how about trash and plastics sorting?

In the case mentioned, he plead guilty, he wasn't found guilty.
