Actually, as a past student of psychology I'd say that sensory deprivation
is an excellent form of punishment. Add to that a few very nice 'features'
of sensory deprivation makes is even better. A person has a deep seated
need for sensory input. If we don't have it, we will seek it to the
extreme. A person in a sensory deprivation situation (Reduced Enviromental
Stimuli) will have an 'open' mind. If you tell them to "farm the land and
not harm anyone" then they will pay their utmost attention to that
'command' and after a little time it will be their primary motivation. And
I'm not talking years. The average person can be days. Yes, we're talking
natural brainwashing. Might not be something we want to do for noise
pollution but for murder or other offenses, hell yes. Punishment and the
modification of the offender. If controlled and not abused.....
