Upstanding, well-mannered, obedient, disciplined, responsible.

They are also the most likely to need corporal punishment, don't you think?

They are also imprisoned at a greater rate, I don't think the penitentiaries turn out penitents, do you?

They seem to get plenty of corporal punishment. And the good stuff, nothing like our gentle minds could imagine. I worked in the inner city juvenile system.
I believe that corporal punishment in prisons would be a better use of it than using it on children.

There is another or several other factors that are responsible for the end result that we see in adults that exhibit what are considered to be acceptable behaviors.
