@Sasquatch, yes, castle doctrine works to some extent - less burglaries done while owners are at home in the US than in the UK.
@Beavis Reforming or confining, yes. But as far as deterring goes it does not work that well, apart from being a euphemism for society's vindictiveness. In this case the US shows up badly, 10+ yrs for one count of burglary and theft as an example of their penalties, and their prison system is awash, a massive concentration labour camp system, just filled with negroes instead of jews, the majority of which have been stripped of their right to vote, some for the rest of their lives even after release from prison.
I think the very full prison system the USA has is also a result of the privatisation of the prisons and the amendment which allows slavery if you're a convicted criminal.
