A Japanese hairstylist has been sentenced to 17.5 years in prison and 20 strokes of the cane in Singapore this week for what the judge described as a “brutal and cruel” sexual assault and rape of a drunk student five years ago.
Minor? Canning is hardcore, it basically aimed at the exact spot in full strength and it will split open your ass cheek horizontally that even a masochist will yell stop. It's a severe punishment for severe crime, one level lower than death sentence, where after each session you wouldn't be able to walk and sit for weeks.
20 strokes will likely split into somewhere between 5 or 6 sessions over the year of imprisonment
20 strokes of a cane can be really traumatizing, and from the sound of it, it's an individual who has been specially trained to Inflict as much pain as possible. Also if they act out during their prison stay they'll likely get more.
I think the addition of a physical punishment is useful in cases of rape, as it shows them a glimpse of how painful the violation of one's autonomy is.
Is it just me or is the caning a really minor add-on to the 17.5 years?
Edit: Jesus Christ, I had no idea caning was so awful. Thank you for explaining.
To my understanding, 24 is the max. Caning is pretty devastating to the body. If your intent is not to execute, you have to have some restraint.

Wikipedia says that it is to be done in one session.
