I would rather see a re-imagining of corporal punishment than so called "restorative justice"

In the United States of America, the male half of the 13% black population commits over 50% of the crime. Most of those crimes are committed by men aged 15-25. One could use "Restorative Justice" to justify locking up all American black men from 15-25 as a proactive measure to protect the non-criminal majority. As you could imagine, in this example it would clearly be more ethical and effective to merely cane or whip the guilty parties on conviction.
