The Supreme Court on Monday ruled by a 5-4 vote that officials may strip-search people arrested for any offense, however minor, before admitting them to jails even if the officials have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband.
About 13 million people are admitted each year to the nation’s jails – 13 is the gematria of Echud/One; the Talumd-Book of Law states, If more than one person was put to death in seventy years, the courts were deemed murderers. Embarrassment is considered a type of death.
America imprisons more people per capita than any other country in the world, even though the constitution forbids illegal search or seizure – plus, a ban against cruel and unusual punishment. Words that sound good but actions speak louder; in Torah Law there are no prisons.
The Torah teaches, If the court finds the litigant guilty, the law expunges the person through a penalty of money, servitude or hitting. Anyone who has suffered the humiliation of jail would far prefer being whipped over being jailed because embarrassment is punishment.
If the guilty person is so afraid of pain that he soils himself in anticipation of the whipping, the penalty is forgone – considering instead, the humiliation enough of a punishment. In America, naked humiliation is part of the punishment, even for the most minor infraction.
