Are you asking about the same people who brag to their buddies in the bars, go onto national tv and write books about their exploits? If they have no shame, how could you make them feel shame? +5

i think it would work in a great many cases especially on lesser offenses, if you can get the lesson across in theses cases i think you would have fewer major offenses to worry about at a later time.

A common saying these days among some of the shall we say underclass is they want to be famous or infamous. You would just be giving them what they want. I say lock them away where no one can see them. That would be the worst punishment.

Even if they weren't shamed and humiliated, there could be a certain level of satisfaction drawn from it. Especially if next of kin were given the whip and told to go to town on a murderer.
