What is wrong with good ole jail?

The Arizona Republic has this article about Avodale becoming the latest Arizona jurisdiction to post mug shots of criminals (in this case suspected) on the Internet. I get it... I know, we are just being tough on crime. When did we decide that public humiliation needed to be added to the adequate punishment of paying fines and going to jail.

There is just something about a grandstanding get tough on crime blowhard politician that makes me not like their ideas. That is why I think this idea is such a dumb one.
