This has never been a major issue for the current US penitentiary system
And down in Oz, we could just evacuate Tasmania, which could revert to being named Van Diemen's Land and send our criminal populace to live in the cold wild.

I'd enjoy this. I really would.

I believe punishment should be cruel and unusual. What kind of a punishment is free gym access, three nutritionally balanced meals a day without any cooking or cleaning, free cable access, internet access... If Jean Valjean had it so simple, Les Misérables would be less than a hundred pages long.

Now, veering slightly back on topic, no email containing tracking numbers. Shocking, I know. So, I'm thinking that if and when the Aura HD shows up, I may accept delivery and hold it hostage until I receive my replacement Aura 6". I know in this circumstance I'll have to pay return postage, but it may get them to move a little more swiftly... maybe.

Any thoughts on this?
