BOGOTA, Colombia - The main reason why some crimes carry
extremely severe punishments is so that people are deterred
from committing those kinds of acts. If this holds true, not
too many people are going to be losing their cars in Colombia.
The country's auto industry wants to build a "concentration
camp" for car thieves, complete with wooden shacks and bar-
bedwire fences. The idea would be to isolate these individ-
uals and force them to grow their own food in order to sur-
vive. Though the term "concentration camp" might be misused
in this instance, the harsh conditions might cause potential
carjackers to find a new hobby.
